3rd Degree Byrne Episode 161: Tribute to Jim Shooter

What can be said about Jim Shooter? Writer? Editor? Publisher and even penciller. He had a passion for the comic industry that served him for over 60 years. 3^rd Degree Byrne discusses the former editor in chief at Marvel and boy writer. How we became aware of his work and how he helped reshape the industry.

Below is a quote for John Byrne on Shooter

“Shooter came along just when Marvel needed him – but he stayed too long. Having fixed just about everything that was wrong, he could not stop “fixing”. Around the time I left to do Superman, I said that I thought Shooter and Dick Giordano should trade jobs – it was DC that needed fixing then – and do so about every 5 years or so. Shooter had put Marvel into a place where all that was needed was a kindly father figure at the helm – and that was not Shooter!”
