You may not be surprised to learn that most people in the comic business grew up reading comic books. However, you might be interested in knowing what they were reading. Here’s a look at “Famous Fanmail”!
Kurt Busiek wrote one of the coolest, most continuity-heavy epics ever: Avengers Forever. Here he is praising Roy Thomas‘ run on Thor, in his letter printed in Thor #287 (cover date – September 1979). The funny thing is he refers to Conan as a boring barian, in this letter. 25 years later (in 2004), Busiek went on to write a very successful Conan relaunch, published by Dark Horse Comics.
