He's probably getting a bunch of money for using his Daredevil stuff.

The book I have on Mad Magazine said "Comics ceased to be a creative medium for the rest of the decade" after it was introduced. Also, the guy who wrote Seduction of the Innocent which started the whole thing, though the new rules were insane, "murder looked like a game!" he said.

Correct, he did the awesome run on Spider-Man with the coolest versions of Venom (at least I thought so as a kid). After the poo poo he pulled with Neil Gaimen over Angela he lost all credibility regarding his Marvel bitchfest.

Ah! It's Jim Steranko with the marvelous topper. Yea, that's pretty much what I would expect him to look like.

I figure thats who I was asking about, and yea, she looks like Kamala, age 25. Now I'm hoping to see Kelly-Sue.

It's really remarkable to hear a history of comics where DC doesn't exist at all.

No, they went mumblemumble someone made Superman mumblemumble, it's just very obvious (but very funny) refusing to acknowlege the competition and any impact on the industry they had.

I'm curious to see just how they're going to deal with why Marvel went bankrupt.

If you don't know: hubris on a grand scale, they started buying up toy manufacturers and comics distributors and I think a movie studio, basically wanting to own every aspect of anyone making money off their characters, and then getting multiple-hosed by the crash because they were overinvested in every last shred of it.

Over-interference with writing/art across the entire line. Increasingly weird decisions starting around the time of Secret Wars. Some of the stories from Marvel Comics: the Untold Story make him sound like he was actually mentally ill.

Walter and Louise Simonson (I think) held a party at their house where they burned an effigy of Jim Shooter made of unsold copies of New Universe books.
