I admire his talent and hard work ethic but can see the other side of the story. From what I understand he wasn’t treated with kid gloves when he was working at DC when he was 14. I remember a Legion story where Matter-Eater Lad’s parents lived off of Tenzil’s monthly stipend and always wondered how much Shooter was drawing off his own home life. Sort of surprised that John Byrne had a barbecue where they burnt a Jim Shooter effigy. I always had the impression that he was very much a company man during that time period. I like Roy Thomas’s take on Shooter’s time in charge. When Shooter did the Legion the last time there was still apparently lots of bad blood out there but he was still telling great stories. Would love to see him on the title again.

Fair play!
