Comic book writer, editor and publisher Jim Shooter passed away on June 30th. He was 73 years old. The cause was esophageal cancer.
Via DailyCartoonist:
Jim Shooter is mostly famous in comic book circles for writing the Superboy and The Legion of Super-Heroes series as a teenager and creating the best-selling Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars. And as the Marvel Editor-in-Chief who, in the late 1970s, got Marvel Comics back on track by insisting things be done his way.
Jim Shooter’s career is detailed in number of obituaries by comic books sites such as Comic Book Resources, and Comics Beat and non-comic sources like Forbes and Wikipedia, with more to come.
