Women of Marvel

Who is Spider-Man without his signature red and blue? Black Widow without her black suit? This episode highlights the critical role fashion plays in comics, through a discussion with fashion historian Dr. Valerie Steele about placing comic clothing in a cultural context, followed by a chat with artist Kris Anka about his process of designing (and re-designing) costumes for comic book characters.

And if that wasn’t enough, Marvel Talent Relations Coordinator Emily Newcomen guest co-hosts! Emily draws from a wealth of Marvel experience, a degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology, and weekly Marvel #BestDressed posts on Twitter, lending some valuable expertise to this week’s show.
