      Robert Kaningher recounts a visit to an early attempt at creating a Comic Artist Union, spearheaded by Bernie Krigstein in 1953. Kaningher is the personification of everything comic artists had to fight. The attitudes he embodied (sexism/close mindedness) continue in comics todaypic.twitter.com/Jjcb0kiTVl

      Here's Kanigher on his reasons for firing Krigstein, one of the greatest comic book artists of all time. Everyone talks about what a towering intellectual Kanigher was, but he sounds like such an insufferable asspic.twitter.com/6fhbls4tVk

      1/2 Gil Kane: "[Kanigher} browbeat me about the general level of my work. I had only read pulps and paperbacks at the time. I started to read better material in order to arm myself so that he wouldn't beat my head in everytime I came in there." From an essay on Kane by Groth...

      My favorite story about Kanigher is that every week he wrote a prose story and sent it to The New Yorker and every week they rejected it.
