Comics critic, cultural commentator and screenwriter Laura Hudson joins Douglas Wolk to discuss Marvel Super Heroes #20--Doctor Doom's first cover feature, and the first appearance of Valeria! Topics include what exactly Diablo keeps in his costume, Doom's problematic modes of thinking about romantic relationships, Frank Giacoia's game attempt at pulling off a Jim Steranko riff, what (if anything) the U.S. Civil War has to do with all of this, and "the putrid pledges of diplomatic immunity."
