Marvel was cohesive, exciting and the books were NEVER LATE, which seemed only natural back then but seems incredible given the past decade of late issues and entire storylines vanishing.<br /><br />So basically, I really want to like him, but different stories on the net keep having me flip-flopping. Most recently there was a post about Shooter on peterdavid.net ("Shooter in the foot") that was very interesting, and a while back I read a great essay on Priest's blog, digitalpriest.com, about his time as editor of the Spidey titles (as Jim Owlsley). It's a candid look at his time on that job, where editors perceived as getting along with Shooter were often looked upon with contempt. Also very interesting.<br /><br />My memories of Vince Coletta are mainly his work with George Perez on Avengers (before Pablo Marcos, who was AMAZING) and an old Bullpen Bulletins where Shooter interviews him. If I recall, a lot of it was about his belief in professionalism and meeting deadlines. No mention of erasing pencils, naturally. That's pretty scandalous stuff.<br /><br />Thanks for the interesting post. As always, it's been fun visiting this site.dholenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-35164721698222011482010-07-16T09:31:53.774-04:002010-07-16T09:31:53.774-04:00Hey liquidwater, fair enough.

Colletta's early work on the Atlas/Marvel Romance books was quite good as well, especially the ladies.Jason Shayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326506125878276176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-12564628132915132202010-07-16T09:29:56.475-04:002010-07-16T09:29:56.475-04:00Web of Spider-Man illustrated by Silvestri and Col...Web of Spider-Man illustrated by Silvestri and Colletta provides us with breathtakingly beautiful women - one of Vinnie's trademarks.
