The Silver Surfer #35

[cyberghostface]

"I consider [Thanos] to be an anti-hero…because he’s been the good guy as often as he’s been the bad guy in the stories. So I don’t consider him a villain. But because he’s not in that hero category I always found him more fascinating to write. I didn’t have to get restricted on where he would go and how he would react to things. I could make him not as appealing as I would have to make him if he were a hero. He could go off on his own little dark ways and it would still make perfect sense." -- Jim Starlin

Starlin does tend to be a bit...over-protective of Thanos when he writes him.

Never forget that mini-series where it's revealed that Thanos in just about every non-Starlin story that has him as a murderous tyrant is some sort of "flawed clone" the real Thanos dismisses. That's even worse than "It was a Doombot."
