When Jim Shooter had this photo of him taken, did he tell the photographer "make me as sinister and ominous looking as possible"? Because fuck, he looks like an X-Files villain or Half-Life's Gman.
>make it look like I was just revealed to be an alien on a Twilight Zone episode

I'm gonna go ahead and say yes.

That he has a badge with a watchtower and the word "DEFIANT" on it certainly doesn't help.
Like he some sort of rebellious, evil Jehova's witness, having just succeeded in developing more efficient house to house preaching.
> I want a picture that reflects the way John Byrne sees me
> Ominous and looming over his work?
> Exactly, now hurry up I've got rewrite a bunch of Secret Wars II tie-ins

Jim Shooter is a hero for how much he set off Byrne's autism
The more I look at that photo, the more I see this.

So was Claremont, it's why Byrne left
Do you want to know how little the last straw was? Byrne drew Colossus tearing a tree out of the ground and intended for him to struggle with it, Claremont wrote the dialogue so that he said it was easy.
They never worked together again.

The hero marvel needs

More like the villain who drove them into the ground.
Fuck Cyclops, Englehart was right.

Bob Harras?

No, he's just the undertaker. The disease had already been caught by then.

Jim Shooter was the necessary evil to save Marvel from bunch of drug using frathouse hippies and turned into into a respectable money making comic book publisher.

Sounds just like what they need right now

>That he has a badge with a watchtower and the word "DEFIANT" on it
That is the logo of the short-lived Defiant Comics (of Warriors of Plasm fame), which Shooter founded after he was kicked out of Valiant. After that bad luck after bad luck business-wise befell on him.
Who will be the second coming of Shooter? Who will save Marvel from the depths of shit it is now in?

I think Jim's a person non grata in comics these days. IIRC, Marvel didn't even invite him to write a intro for the Secret Wars collection they put out few years ago.

Is one of Jim Shooter's aliases Robert Davi?
>>78507385
He's that hated?
man what's wrong with jim shooter's cheeks?
>>78506537
That show was ahead of its time. Fuckin loved it.
>>78507421
Of course those cunts would hate anyone who actually made them work and get shit done on time, as well as actually be an editor.

>Hmm, I seem to have walked into some sort of comic book convention instead of where my intended assassination target is. Oh well, perhaps this will be a better life.

Is this the inspiration for Chigurh?
>>78507549
It's perfect.
Two men named Jim Shooter, one given the name by birth, the other uses it only as a mildly clever alias. Both arrive at an airport one day and each sees a different person holding a sign, they both get in the wrong cars and begin new lives.
The Jim Shooter that grew up in a poor farming town and wrote Legion of Superheroes when he was 15 entered contract killing that day, the assassin was furious that some guy named Steve Gerber wasn't getting his scripts about a talking duck in on time and decided to stay

You've never had headshots done? Shit, dude. Treat yourself.
He picked that out of a hundred or something as the one he wanted to use. He's probably still got the rest of the set at home.
Just imagine what he would do to everyone responsible for clusterfuck that is Secret Wars.
