For the last two years, one graphic novel has been the source of controversy and censorship in the United States of America. Young audiences all over have been gravitating toward the deeply personal and frank discussions of self and exploration that is Maia Kobabe's Gender Queer: A Memoir. 

Join Behind the Yellow Boxes as Steph and Brook explore the controversial graphic novel, return to their opinions on censorship and book bans, and provide a brief overview of the story within.

Since 1984, one franchise has been a solid part of nearly every generation of children the world over, and it all started with a little indie comic that only published 3,000 copies!  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been an unparalleled force in multiple genres and has remained a stable in comic publishing for 40 years! So for the 50th episode of the Behind the Yellow Boxes podcast, Steph and Brook have invited some former guest stars to join them in talking about the Mean Green Fighting Machines!

Along with a review of the first Mirage Comics issue of TMNT and a history of the creators, the podcast crew will discuss multiple adaptations, thoughts on the franchise as a whole, and a whole lot of personal Turtle love throughout the years.

In preparation for a special upcoming event, Steph and Brook talk about the Man Without Fear, better known as Daredevil! Or Matt Murdock! Or Mike Murdock! Specifically, they talk about Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's 2011  run of Daredevil, and why they love it.

Along the way they discuss bad secret identities, some famous people who have tackled the man from Hell's Kitchen, and Brook goes to bat for the Ben Affleck's Daredevil movie, much to Steph's astonishment.
