Ben brings his wealth of behind-the-scenes knowledge to catch things the S4 missed and brings his unique perspective to talk about the stories and creators of the selected year.
Ben's Tremendous Tenth episode takes a concentrated look at more of the finest of Marvel's output throughout 1967. Ben and guest Tim Capel talk about the new-look Amazing Spider-Man, the Avengers' struggle to find its way, the shenanagins in Daredevil as well as a look at what was going on in Tales to Astonish, Tales of Suspense and X-Men. Morse & Capel discuss the work of creators Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, John Romita Sr, Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, Don Heck and the recently departed Marie Severin. Ben and Tim also look at the character debuts of the Kingpin and MODOK and also go in-depth into return appearances from Kraven, the Black Widow, Hercules, Mary Jane Watson and Norman & Harry Osborn.
