Hi

Thanks for the owner for all his excelent work. Do you know which issue of the 1993 Forbes magazine did Jim Shooter interview about his firing of Valiant appear ?

Erménégide

Well Erménégide, I don't know the answer to your question. I just felt bad that your post had more than 300 views without a response.

I wonder if Erménégide is still sad because he never got a response to his post.

The only time JaiRenversaiMaSoupe ever posted and 3 years later, it finally gets a response.... I wonder if he's been waiting? Good stuff!

Serves him right for just posting once and then never posting again.. sheesh.. I wonder how many times he took a look to see if anyone answered his questions

I hope he found his answer!

I couldn't find much with an admittedly simple web-search.

How about an April Miracle?

The article, titled "How Not to Start a Company," is by Phyllis Berman & in the June 21, 1993 issue of Forbes.

The thing about Jim Shooter is that, while I believe him because I am a fan, all he is saying is essentially hearsay. There is no way that any of us can really varify his claims. I don't know him personally either, so I also have an image in my head about him that is likely not accurate. Though based on my reading, he is a tough and demanding man to work with, which would jive with what I also hear that some comic book creators don't really care for him.

Again, I personally believe him, but he has gone on record at many different times about how the Valiant guys were awful people and deserved to be strung up to a truck and driven across the pavement. And he is a writer by trade, so he likely dresses things up a little for entertainment value (however unconsciously).
