From Kelley Jones
>Jim Shooter has passed away.
>When I got hired to draw comics for Marvel Comics many years ago Jim Shooter flew out to do several signings in my area and asked if I’d come and meet him, which I did with great trepidation because he was the boss of bosses and I was just starting out. When he finished a signing he asked if I’d like to go out for a meal anywhere I wanted and we could talk about making comic art professionally. I told him let’s go to McDonalds.
>We talked for hours and a lot about Jack Kirby.
>When it was over he asked why did I want to eat at McDonalds of all places. I told him very earnestly that I didn’t want Marvel to pay for an expensive meal as I was a nobody.
>He laughed his ass off and hugged me saying I was Marvel material!!
>He was always very kind to me all the years after.
>God bless him.
