Following on from the optimism of the sixties, the country faced a decade of strikes and power cuts. Luckily for the fans of Melchester Rovers, Roy Race and his loyal time mates provided great moments of glory for their fans, starting with European Cup final win in 1973 in the year that the club celebrated its 50th anniversary. It was the decade in which footballers became real superstars a time when Melchester goalkeeper Charlie Carter had to choose between staying at the club or perusing a burgeoning career as a pop singer. And it was a period when Roy Race truly cemented himself as the heart, soul and brain of the club by taking on the role of player manager.

It’s here! Landmark Episode #500 features a great double-header of conversation, first with Ray-Anthony Height from Cornerman, then with Braiden Cox from Sever! Everything kicks off with Ray-Anthony Height, who has a Zoop.gg campaign underway for Cornerman, which is described this way: “When the world’s superheroes are captured, who do you send in to rescue them? The man that trained them all! Coach Jason Drexler is dragged out of retirement and into the spotlight to show there’s no substitute for skill. He taught them everything THEY know — not everything HE knows. This 32-page issue #1 is the first appearance of the new baddest man in comics and beyond.” We talk about diversity in comics as well as what sets Cornerman apart from other stories! This project concludes on Wednesday, September 29, so be sure to back them after this episode! Then everything concludes with the return of Braiden Cox as we discuss his Kickstarter for Sever, his latest comic! Here’s how this book is described: It’s “a romance horror story featuring: a power-hungry necromancer cult and a group of misfit friends that started a metal band.” This project is doing well, but it still needs your support! Be sure to get on board before this concludes on Saturday, October 2, at 5:04 a.m. EDT. Don’t miss it!
