Thats awesome - luckily, the thief was seen by Chris Weston and not, say...me. Heh! I dont think the cops would be able to identify ANYONE based on one of my drawings.
And here I was SO looking forward to what iFanboy was going to do with the character! All kidding aside, I think its pretty big news, Im interested in seeing how it plays out - and have been telling everyone who is asking about Marvelman to watch the recent show you guys did.

@John42 - Not being an ass, I see what you mean and I think there's some merit to it, but at the same time then, should anyone who disagrees or tables a viewpoint differing from those of the article's writers then just do so silently?
I thought the point of this WAS to discuss and debate - maybe I was misled by Jim saying : "What do you think of this list? Did they miss anyone, or add anyone unnecessarily? Why even have an internet if you're not going to use it to argue about this stuff?"
(Sorry about my weird font sizes...still new to this site! :D )
I think their summary of McFarlane is at best fairly off base and at worst, insulting; he alone didnt prove that creator owned comics could be viable, Im sure Todd doesnt WANT to publish terrible comics (Some would say his comics arent in fact, terrible, but thats another discussion), I fail to see how him spending money on baseballs is a con, and unless Todd McFarlane was an editor at DC and hired Liefeld to work on Hawk & Dove, I fail to see how he helped to launch his career.
Also, is this even supposed to BE in a ranked order? Or merely just a list of 21 artists who changed comics?

"A cartoon robbed the bank?"
Im with Mike. I havent read any Superman books in a while, and while they may be doing great work, Id rather just read about Superman.
I'd think that while some people may disagree, but it's a valid sentiment.

Works out rather well!
@John42 - yeah like I said, I understand where youre comin from, dude.
@SirCox - I agree with Frank Miller for sure; I'd think John Buscema deserves an honorable mention, and I'd throw Art Adams' name into the mix too.
