This is terrible news for the hobby. This guy is an absolute creative legend in the space and did so much more than his "Editor for Marvel" title suggests. He pioneered several independent comic universes successfully and really dug-in on showing that creativity could outshine the corporate systems.

Deeply creative and independent guy.

The father of modern Marvel. He may have pissed off all the employees there at the time but he got results and made them actually work harder.

Yeah! I mean... his hands are in so much of that 80's sensibility that made Bronze era Marvel amazing.....

Love him or tolerate him, a Marvelous and Valiant career during the highest profile era of America comic books!
