Emmy-winning TV writer and comics writer & editor Tom K. Mason talks about “Secret Wars” and how the first blockbuster crossover limited series changed how Marvel Comics put their superheroes together (and broke them apart) for decades to come.
Tom talks about how Jim Shooter designed and directed the 12-issue epic, the impact and influence of toymakers Mego, Kenner and Mattel, how a series like this influenced comics writers and artists, the ripple effects of both Secret Wars and DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths (which came out almost simultaneously), and more.
And if anyone knows what might have happened to the “lost” issue of Secret Wars, the one Jim Shooter scrapped after it was completed in favor of ordering a do over, let us or Tom know!
