I just read that MICHAEL ZULLI has died. When I worked as a BATMAN editor, I had the pleasure of working with Michael on NO MAN'S LAND SECRET FILES. When I told him I loved his issues of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, a week later I was received a package with all three signed. May he rest in peace.

"DC Comics’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS was as much a story about the Golden and Silver ages of their publishing legacy as it was a cosmic-level saga, and EPIPHANY ENGINE follows in that tradition with a twist." - via @comicsbeat.bsky.social www.comicsbeat.com/joe-illidge-...

HAH! Guess I was thinking about X-MEN '97 when I posted. We alllllllllllllll know Cockrum is a deity, and WHOA, his character designs!!

SPIDER-MAN wouldn't be valuable IP if you subtracted the work of John Romita from its history. X-MEN isn't a valuable IP without the contributions of Jim Lee as part of its history. And so on and so on... The power of IP and the IMPORTANCE OF THE ARISTS in its history are INTERTWINED.
