Some mention of Silver Surfer and of Iron Man (where Thanos debuted, despite the implicit inference in the article that it was in Captain Marvel) must be made. The fact that Infinity Gauntlet had two sequels is also overlooked, as is his recent Marvel work. 201.26.222.60 15:51, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Legion work

Not sure if this is too obscure for the main article, but...

Starlin was a fill-in writer/artist for the Legion of Super-Heroes in the early 80s, developing a seperate plot which was mostly only referenced in the occasional issues he did. This was to come to a head in a giant special issue involving a Omega, a being which threatened to destroy the universe... but DC decided to break up his special into two seperate issues, and cut a number of pages from it as well that made it somewhat disjointed (if still memorable). Starlin was so upset over this he had them take his name off the issues (it is credited as "Steve Apollo") and discontinued work on the series. .. damn forgot to sign in. anyway, here's a cite on this: [1]

[edit] "masturbatory-levels of fanboyism"

"masturbatory-levels of fanboyism towards Thanos" certainly doesn't strike me as an objective assessment that would belong in an encyclopaedia. It seems childish and insulting.
