1. I have to say, I thought I'd never want to read another word on Scorsese & Marvel movies. I was wrong. This Scorsese op ed is excellent. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/opinion/martin-scorsese-marvel.html#click=https://t.co/LjH5BF1qdE …

7. The point is that Colan & Heck adapted (as other artists did) to the new domination of superheroes as best they could. Marvel made Kirby their "house style." Some artists could adapt to that, some couldn't. But ideally there would have been greater genre diversity for artists

8. Another artist who came to have doubts about the dominance of a single genre owned by two companies was Jack Kirby, who did more to create the superhero genre than anyone else.

9. Late in life Kirby (working with Steve Gerber) created a series called Destroyer Duck which parodied Marvel Comics as GODCORP LTD. It had the slogan: "Grab it all, own it all, drain it all." That could be Disney 2019.pic.twitter.com/iHNayQRxcl

I thought I read that Colan's family name originally was Cohen and it got changed somewhere along the way. In the '70s, Colan started doing Dracula, a title he was born to draw. His version of Daredevil remains my favorite.

During Marvel's first decade or so, I thought he was the best artist on Daredevil, Dr. Strange and Iron Man and arguably the best on Sub-Mariner.

that's not really a fault of DC or Marvel but because of Wertham and his stupid crusade against comic books and then the Comics Code coming in and not allowing anything edgy anymore. This isn't that. There is no big bad guy saying no one can make a certain kind of film.

Either you're woefully ignorant of that time frame in comic history or you're just trying to skew your point. There's a difference. It's not that Marvel, EC, etc wanted to shut down those Weird or Horror, they were told they couldn't. Not in the way those guys were accustomed.
