Marv Wolfman, whilte talking about editors and the leeway writers have in dealing with them, makes this comment:

…when you’re not the editor, and if you’re not Alan Moore or Frank Miller or a handful of others, you have to do what the editor wants, even if you were the creator and part of the reason the book sold.

This just stuns me. I always assumed that Marv was just about where Alan Moore and Frank Miller were on the hierarchy, given that Marv’s New Teen Titans was a ground-breaking book that made more money for DC than if they were using their presses to print money.

One of the heartbreaks of becoming more familiar with comic professionals is learning that the names you associate with Earth-shattering big projects belong to guys who are average schlubs still scraping to get by and whose vaunted prestige won’t buy them a cup of coffee amongst the industry bigwigs.
