I wish nothing but peace for a man who rarely seemed at peace.

He was instrumental in my career and I thank him for that.
Though he was complicated, I believe Marvel, the direct market, and possibly the industry itself, might not exist today without what Jim Shooter did as EiC. https://t.co/386UlD3HFd
Jim Shooter has died.

When I got hired to draw comics for Marvel Comics many years ago Jim Shooter flew out to do several signings in my area and asked if I’d come and meet him, which I did with great trepidation because he was the boss of bosses and I was just starting out. When…
RIP Jim Shooter. Jim graciously reviewed my portfolio as a young kid. I never had an appointment. I’d just drive down to the city, head to their offices, ride the elevator up and hope for the best. Something that’d be impossible to do post 9/11. Thank you, Big Shooter 🤘🏻✏️🤘🏻

Broke into comics at 14, helped make the Legion of Superheroes a premiere team, brought Marvel out of the wilderness & made them a juggernaut in the 80s, fought for creators rights, a career you can't summarize.
