There are No Coincidences

Rom, Spaceknight. (sans armor)

Bill Mantlo, writer of ROM's 75 issue run.

Mantlo managed to take a sow's ear and make a delightful purse from it. A lame toy and potentially disatrous merchandise licensing crossover project became a cult hit. I never read ROM during it's run though I was aware of the book, which had art by Sal Buscema and Steve Ditko, but it was the ill-fated writer, Bill Mantlo, who was the heart and soul of this book. Give it a chance, True Believers; I am pleasantly surprised so far.

Without a doubt, Bill Mantlo is ROM

Neo, have you read this?

Vince Coletta letter to Marvel Comics after the firing of Jim Shooter.

I'm baffled at how people's nerddom doesn't carry over to comics around here.

This question bears repeating. People here love the X-Men, Spider-Man, and Iron Man films but do these people even read comics? Or is it a matter of people simply not reading, period? Are the audiences for comics and those who like super-hero movies and cartoons vastly different?

Phelpsie, "ill-fated" rarely had more relevance than when Mr. Mantlo was tapped to take over after

's original tempestuous professionally-personal flame-out at the House of What Useta Be Marvel during the late 1970s.

His first words in the letters page was something along the lines of "I'm not Steve Gerber" but he forgot to add no more Impossible Mission

existed than eradicating or supplanting the Glorious Gadfly Fowl's creator

So twasn't surprising the mag itself descended into publishing purgatory not soon after.

As to that, our favorite title by Mr. Mantlo

had an intriquing premise and incisive art yet failed to ever really catch-on:

Nero, my heartfelt thanks for the ongoing altering of this thread's title and including your appreciation of Bill Mantlo. It should also be noted that he had a stellar five-year run as writer on The Incredible Hulk, which yours truly grew up reading. It's an era in the comic's history that has become quite well regarded with the passing years. Mantlo and artist Sal Buscema worked together on both Hulk and Rom and are one of the most underrated writer-artist tandem's in comic history. The fact that their collaborations concurrently spanned two books makes their accomplishments all the more impressive.

Another Mantlo note: he autographed the exalted "No Prize" for those given on his books as a genuine token of thanks. Mantlo seems like a class act all around.

Reading through some Amazing Spider-Man comics recently (#174-180) I was starting to agree with those say that early '70s Marvel was a mess. Everything from the merry-go-round of Editor-in-Chief to the messy and scratchy art that dominated Marvel's "flagship" books was really a letdown from the Stan and Jack (and Company) Era. The often vilified Jim Shooter does deserve at least some credit for turning things around though I have tons of criticism for his reign, too. Every era has its good points but I think the bllom is off the rose for a lot of 1970-75 Marvel.

[ As long as I live, I'll never know another writer who will touch my life in the same way Steve did. A unique friend, collaborator, and mentor. A man whose mind worked in ways so amazing and awesome - in the most literal, dictionary-definition sense of that word - that having the simplest of conversations with him was an enriching, mind-expanding experience.

No one else I've ever known thought -- much less wrote -- like Steve. He was incomparable and irreplaceable, and I'll miss him forever.] - Martin Pasko.

Archie Goodwin (1937-1998) remembered by Peter David.

http://www.peterdavid.net/2012/10/29/remembering-archie-goodwin/

X-Men writer Chris Claremont considered Archie Goodwin (along with Louise Jones) the best editor he ever worked for. Goodwin is also one of the best authors of the Star Wars--gotta mention Star Wars-- "expanded universe", having written for the Marvel comic and the daily newspaper strip which featured art by the great Al Williamson.

Thought that Neo, Gary S., and the other few comic book denizens around here might be interested in this:

"TwoMorrows Publishing is proud to debut our newest magazine, COMIC BOOK CREATOR #1 (84 FULL-COLOR pages, $8.95) devoted to the work and careers of the men and women who draw, write, edit, and publish comics, focusing always on the artists and not the artifacts, the creators and not the characters. Behind an ALEX ROSS cover painting, our frantic FIRST ISSUE features an investigation of the oft despicable treatment JACK KIRBY endured from the very business he helped establish. From being cheated out of royalties in the ’40s and bullied in the ’80s by the publisher he made great, to his estate’s current fight for equitable recognition against an entertainment monolith where his characters have generated billions of dollars, we present Kirby’s cautionary tale in the eternal struggle for creator’s rights."
