| Would anyone have a list or link to a chronology of comics that Shooter worked on (Edit/Plotted) at during his short stint at Marvel when he was just out of high school and just left DC. Appx 1970? | ||

 Where's his Bat-package?

| As I understand it, in that time period at Marvel he didn't do any solo work at all - he 'co-plotted' a few things - and no actual scripting. Apparently, it was this minimal work that contributed to his decision to return to DC. I've tried to find if there's a record of his early 70's work at Marvel, but I haven't had any luck. |

| @Jesse_O - I tried, but couldn't find any references in between DC and mid-70's Marvel work. | ||

| I don't think this will answer any of your questions, but it's a wonderful excerpt from "Chris Claremont's X-Men program," how much of a pain in the ass Claremont was to Shooter, but Chris did have a wonderful run at Marvel with everything he wrote. The Jim Shooter part starts around 10:30 into the show It's worth watching the whole thing, if you want to skip to the Jim Shooter part - 10:30 into the production. clickable text |

| @Davethebrave, they did reference the killing off of a character, but it was really awesome to watch what the team did with facilitating the X-Men run between Claremont and Shooter, and the expansion of mutants in comics. I don't know if it was "help"🤣🤣🤣. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by ChuckyG@ChuckyG - Yup, but again, that is all mid-70's. I am looking for his activity at Marvel in between when he left DC and his long term Marvel stint which occurred in the Mid 70's. Basically, he worked for Marvel for about a month in 1970. That is what I was looking for.  |

| Regarding his late 1969 three-week Marvel stint: something that Shooter has mentioned in various interviews is how he spotted a "major mistake" in a book he was given by Stan to edit/proofread. He refers to it as a Millie the Model book where the story involves Mars. Awhile back I researched this and the only story at that time that fits this description is Chili #10, which contains the story "The Model Goes to Mars!", so this is one book we know he worked on. Chili #10 was cover-dated Feb. 1970 and on sale in Nov. 1969. | ||

| Sometimes you just gotta bid on auctions... I messaged a few people selling this book. I offered $550 to one guy (who is selling sneakers mostly). He's selling this for $950. His counter offer was $850. I declined and decided to bid on the auction. Just won the book for $410. Will be cracked and heading to CGC for the shooter signing.   |
