A very difficult guy, but so so fucking important to comics history. And damn good at what he did
…i posit that jim shooter’s tenure fostered marvel’s second-most-successful creative run on the merits of editorial consistency, which has always been fundamental to marvel’s identity and success…

100%. He built modern Marvel, and did it best or at least with the best track-record.
Shooter had a hand in Walt Simonson’s run on Thor? Neat!
Shooter’s era of x-men with Chris Claremont is my favorite.
Claremont’s run on X Men is goated, no doubt about that
Big name though more known for being a manager I guess? Did the original Secret Wars, also heard Peter David died recently, haven’t read much from either
