Jim Steranko has made very few comic books but has had a big influence. This episode looks at his innovations including the use of Op Art, surrealism, and film-influenced montages. There is some analysis of his 1960s run on Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a close look at his adaptation of the sci-fi movie Outland in the pages of Heavy Metal magazine.
