Year of the Cheetah: Priscilla Rich in The Silver Age
Nov 11, 202000:32:40Tap to summarizeFrank returns after a mere five months off to post an actual second episode in the same “Year of the Cheetah,” featuring another guest cameo from Wonder Woman: Warrior for Peace podcast’s Angela! The 2019 release of Wonder Woman 1984 is looking more like 2021, so we guess Warner Brothers plans to hold out until we at least finish covering the appearances of the original incarnation of the Cheetah. Gee, we hope it doesn’t hurt their pocket money in the meantime. Our coverage includes Priscilla Rich’s two published stories set on Earth-One during the Silver Age of Comics, Wonder Woman #160 & 166…We don’t have a Magic Sphere, so if you want to communicate with us about the podcast…Tweet host Diabolu Frank directly, or commune with @rolledspine as a group.

Jun 18, 202000:49:01Tap to summarizeFrank returns after another year & a half’s sabbatical to find… the Wonder Woman: Warrior for Peace podcast had returned from its own year of absence. To celebrate our both running again, Angela has an opening cameo to foreshadow her continuing appearances in a series of Cheetah-centric episodes to tide you over while Wonder Woman 1984 keeps being delayed. I bet Warner Brothers wish they’d just released the sequel back in November of 2019 as originally planned. But we’re more interested in prequels today, as we travel back to the earliest stories of the original incarnation of the Cheetah. We cover every one of Priscilla Rich’s published Golden Age stories set on Earth-Two, including Sensation Comics #22 & 36, Wonder Woman #6, 28, 196, & 230, Comic Cavalcade #11, Crisis on Infinite Earths #5 & 9, and DC Special #3. Most especially, we survey the Wonder Woman newspaper strip from November 20, 1944-March 30,1945, the most exhaustive and involved version of the initial Cheetah saga.We don’t have a Magic Sphere, so if you want to communicate with us about the podcast…Tweet host Diabolu Frank directly, or commune with @rolledspine as a group.

Sep 21, 201700:44:41Tap to summarizeThis episode, Frank covers the first major arc of the William Messner-Loebs run, “Exile in Space,” which ran in Wonder Woman vol. 2 (1987 series) #66-71 (1992-1993.) Since nobody actually refers to the “Space Pirates” story by that name, we’ll use the story title from #69 instead. This is one of Frank’s favorite legends of the Amazing Amazon, featuring art by Paris Cullins and a host of inkers, with an especially epic series of Brian Bolland covers. This time, the show will run without commercial interruption.We don’t have a Magic Sphere, so if you want to communicate with us about the podcast…Tweet host Diabolu Frank directly, or commune with @rolledspine as a group.Email DiaboluIf the main Diana Prince as the New Wonder Woman blog isn’t your thing, try the umbrella Rolled Spine Podcasts.

The core of the episode is a fresh look at 1996’s Superman/Wonder Woman: Whom Gods Destroy prestige format 4-issue mini-series by Chris Claremont, Dusty Abell and Drew Geraci.
