What a great episode! I've kept this one in regular rotation while I draw since it dropped, and it is so inspiring and informative.

This purchase was a no-brainer for me. Part of the Steranko mystique is how rare any new art was for decades, so if you're a fan, the response to any new jolt of it is like the awakening of a long-dormant addiction. The second volume was planned to be some of his best stuff, including Captain America and the short stories, but has been delayed for years by Steranko wanting to produce new chapter breaks or covers for every story, leaving us junkies twitching for it in the alleys.

Regarding Ed's comment at 26:57 about the field of black triangles and white triangles -- that's an effect that Don Heck used occasionally in his science fiction stories for Atlas in the late 50s and early '60s. (I've got a ton of early '70s reprints of that stuff.) I don't know whether Steranko swiped it or if he came up with the idea independently, but I'm betting on the former.

Excellent job, guys! Steranko artwork evolves quickly with a great kickstart from the King! Stan is a ringmaster and Steranko is a showman! We been very lucky to have him drop by Buffalo twice in the last 20 years! Steranko has small body of work for comics but the quality shows over 50 years later ! Thanks! Keep making COMIX!

Was totally craving for more artist editions, love this psychedelic masterpiece. To quote the great Dave Choe thank you Ed and Jim for what you guys do!

Steranko is comics royalty, and such a cool guy to talk/listen to as well.

Ed's wearing his Crosswalk uniform, for this one..

Those pages are so wild and strong it makes me wanna burn 'em down and snort the ashes. Sterankokaine!

love this episode. man, Steranko is crazy good in this.

Wonder why this one took so long to be released... you can always tell the time by the amount of Red Room books being hyped at the beginning 😂

~20:35 - He could have used one of those rapidograph pens.

I had the pleasure of meeting Steranko, loved his work. It was Gulacys art work on M.O.K.F. that drew me to love comics all together.

Those “awkward figures” creating movement bring to mind Mike Allred

When i was 14 i wanted to go to school dressed as Steranko´s Nick Fury...even with the eye patch . Mom didn´t allow it

You are so much more awesome than me. When I was, like, 42 years old I was in a Walmart health and beauty department and briefly thought about buying an eye patch and wearing it to work for a day, to be like Nick Fury. I myself immediately quashed the idea, without consulting my mom. I suck.

I still have all The Shadow paperbacks I bought as a kid with Steranko cover art. I saw him once at a Pulpcon in Dayton, OH.

Nicely Done as always. Props Guys!!!

rad. Just got this...and it's amazing.

This is the first time I heard someone else mention Coober Skeber! I still have my copy. I remember Ron Rege's Spider-Man blowing my mind at the time. Time for a re-read!

I learned so much watching this....thanks guys!

Just ordered mine. So far This will be my first artist’s edition in my collection.

at 47:09, maybe 'Romita's Raiders'? Or is this book too early?

I just received my own copy of this four days ago! My wife is annoyed, not by the cost but by the sheer size of this book. Not sure where we're going to put this thing. So great, though.

FYI for anyone looking for this IDW has a new printing currently available for $175.

I should know by now that if I watch you guys got through an Artist Edition I'm going to go buy it and go through it myself. Curse you for making me spend the $.

😊😊

It was surprising that you totally ignored the new covers/posters Jim did for each story.

Red Roomis amazing. You took a subject that would make most people run away into a ROMP! All because of the art style. Transcendent!

Congrats to Tom on being nominated for LE PRIX PAPIERS NICKELÉS SOBD -- A great honor!

Thank you for going through this this way, you jerks! Now I HAVE to buy ANOTHER book! What, you people, and the publisher of those Artisan Editions think I'm just freakin' MADE of money?!!? Sigh...I'm also buying the Simonson one. Picked up the Romita one already. P.S. I always find it funny when an artist uses the word "draw-er" to describe an artist.😆😆
