Shelter in place for lunch with Scott Edelman, host of Eating the Fantastic, as he answers questions from listeners and former guests of the podcast, revealing his love for The Twilight Zone (and the negative effect it had on him as a beginning writer), the origins of the Scarecrow character he created for Marvel in 1975, what it was like editing a professional wrestling magazine, whether the difficulties he faced in getting his Lambda Award-nominated novel The Gift published during the ‘80s still hold true today, the embarrassing things he wishes he hadn’t done as editor and publisher of Last Wave magazine, how it felt seeing one of his comic book creations on the big screen in Captain Marvel, his opinion on the James Tiptree Jr. Award controversy, and much more.
