Comics and going on to write Superboy, The Legion of Super-Heroes, Superman and other titles. In 1978, I accepted the position of Editor in Chief of Marvel Comics under the condition that I would be allowed to improve things for Marvel鈥檚 creators. I introduced royalties and a spectrum of other incentives, rights and benefits, attracting a Who鈥檚 Who of talent. Later, I founded VALIANT, DEFIANT and Broadway Comics and was the principal creator of their characters and universes. Today, I鈥檓 the Editor in Chief of Illustrated Media, a custom comics company.</div> </div></div><div id="widget_lovecraft_recent_posts-2" class="widget Widget_Lovecraft_Recent_Posts"><div class="widget-content"><h3 class="widget-title">Recent Posts</h3> <ul class="lovecraft-widget-list"> <li class="group"> <a href="http://jimshooter.com/2016/06/jim-shooter-a-second-opinion.html/"> <div class="post-icon"> <div class="genericon genericon-standard"></div> </div> <div class="inner"> <p class="title">Jim Shooter: A Second Opinion</p> <p class="meta">June 8, 2016</p> </div> </a> </li> <li class="group"> <a href="http://jimshooter.com/2016/05/new-storytelling-lecture-2.html/"> <div class="post-icon"> <div class="genericon genericon-standard"></div> </div> <div class="inner"> <p class="title">New!
