Date: 2025-07-01 12:19 pm (UTC)My first real knowledge of Shooter came from the Ellison trial as covered in Comics Journal. Gary Groth really hated Shooter and he was a polarizing figure. I hadn't realized he had issued a specific edict about LBGTQ+ characters, but I don't find it hard to believe. He was complicated - complicit in things like carrying the party line against Kirby, but also pushing for better benefits for artists in his employ. A lot happened under his tenure and, as noted, whole books have been written about his time there.
I have mixed feelings about him - he wasn't a villain, but he did a lot of stuff I really didn't like. His stuff in the 90s was all over the place and I've no idea what he did in the last 20 years.
