I was reading the letters page [in HULK magazine # 23] and there was outrage at John Byrne doing something racist - I didn't know he was mental back then!

I liked the way Jim Shooter wrote unter the name of James Shooter for these 'adult' magazines - he sounds so grown up!


John Byrne had a long interview about his career in THE COMICS JOURNAL # 57, out in 1980, and he talked about being uncomfortable drawing Colleen wing in the IRON FIST title after writer Claremont said he was writing the character as a lesbian.

Byrne also let on that in college, he did a regular one-page comic strip titled "Gay Guy" .

Both of these remarks, predictably, pissed off gay readers.
