You can only be disappointed by people in whom you have certain hopes and expectations. I would rather be disappointed than uninspired.

Quick correction of what I said...

My memory of Kirby joining Eisner in the late 30s is true, but he was in his 20s, not his teens, and he'd actually done some comic work starting in 1936 before temporarily leaving the field to work as an in-between animator on Popeye cartoons. So he goes even further back in the industry than my claim.

Lee, though, did get his start as a teenager, starting as an office assistant at Timely (not Atlas) in 1939, and graduating to writer and editor by the time he was 18 in 1941.

Just to touch on something George said, while Bob Harras has very, very many problems, Marvel's bankruptcy stemmed more from the executive decisions and not creative ones. Really most of the blame can be placed on the feet of Ron Perelman (no, not that Ron Perlman) who was the Marvel chairman at the time and ran the company into the ground. Bob Harras was still around when Marvel got itself out of bankruptcy ( ... )

And yeah, I think a lot of whats happened with the New 52 feels very familiar to late 90s Marvel, and not in a good way.

And who just joined the writing team, taking over Teen Titans and Superboy? Tome DeFalco! Harras's predecessor as Marvel EiC, and fellow chronicler of the Clone Saga. This bodes well.
