MARVEL COMICS
Shooter had a fairly prolific writing career at Marvel. His
first writing credit was for Super-Villain Team-Up 3 in December
1975. He would continue to write regularly for Marvel up until
the time he left as editor-in-chief in 1987.
Best known for his Avengers run and the Korvac Saga, Shooter also
had regular writing gigs on Daredevil and Ghost Rider. He also
spearheaded the two
Secret Wars and launched the
New Universe.
The checklist details every Marvel publication that Shooter has a
writing or plotting credit on, including reprints and TPB. His 9-year
run as editor-in-chief also produced some of Marvel's best work as
Shooter forced the writers to stop hacking, meet deadlines and start
producing quality.
Shooter fought hard to protect creator's and their rights, but also understood the business side of the industry. While he was integral in getting creators and artists royalties, he'd also side with management on work-for-hire issues. Needless to say, when Marvel was sold, Shooter was caught in the middle with both management and the creators thinking he was loyal to the other side.
