A TRIBUTE TO JIM SHOOTER 1951-2025

Описание: In this special Word Balloon tribute episode, we dive deep into the groundbreaking legacy of Jim Shooter—one of the most influential figures in comic book history. Shooter’s storied career spanned decades at both Marvel and DC Comics, where he served as a writer, editor, and ultimately Editor-in-Chief at Marvel during one of its most creatively explosive eras.

Joining host John Siuntres are two respected comic book historians and authors: Paul Kupperberg, longtime DC writer and editor, who brings personal insight into Shooter’s impact at DC, and Jim Beard, editor of KIRBY: KING OF COMICS, who offers a thoughtful analysis of Shooter's editorial philosophy, creative output, and the controversies that surrounded his leadership style.

From his teenage debut writing the Legion of Super-Heroes, to launching iconic titles like Secret Wars, Valiant Comics, and his polarizing run steering Marvel’s ship in the 1980s—this is a candid, in-depth conversation that comic book fans won’t want to miss.
