After reading Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, really not surprised despite it being a different company. Although I'd like a DC version too that covers stuff like this.

I think if they did that, you would read some shit. John Bryne was over there a long time and help shape modern DC, and we all know what a nice guy he is.

Comics history is so interesting, they take a lot from the culture of the time, but are sort of insular in a weird way. Its a mess of good intentions, indifference, and sheer ignorance. Like the cliff notes of a changing society.

You forgot the sprinkling of brilliance that almost seem accidental.

I second that. He created some fantastic characters and stories, some of which have actually stuck around for the long haul. I hope before he died he knew how important he was(and is).

Listen to Neil Adams talk about how John Stewart came to exist - it was a strange process.

Longer version of the story, but audio isn't as good.

Man, ain't that the truth. I mostly got into his stuff on the animated side, but what a talent. We're all worse off without him.

Yep! The fact that some of the best ethnic characters in all media have come from comics is almost hilarious given the history.

Edit: Its not relevant to this thread but hell Hickman created one of the most elaborate plots ever while (mostly) retaining the spirit of all the main characters in his stories.

Thank you!
