https://www.cbr.com/jim-shooter-comic-book-icon-dc-marvel-obituary/https://bleedingcool.com/comics/jim-shooter-marvel-eic-founder-of-valiant-has-died-aged-73-rip/He managed a 60 year career in comics, with his first work being submitted when he was 13 and his first regular run, on the Legion of Super-Heroes in Adventure Comics, starting when he was 14. I feel a little bad suggesting he did his best work when he was a teenager, but his early run on the Legion was absolutely amazing, one of the first to bring some of the Marvel Sensibility over to DC. Thrilling and fun and with a sense anything could happen, including characters dying, and various clever twists. One of my all-time favorite comic book runs. He managed to annoy a lot of pros and some fans, but he did a lot of good comics as both writer and editor.
