[edit] Scope

What is the intended scope of this list? Obviously we're not going to list everyone who's ever worked on a Marvel Comic. Obviously all the Editors-in-Chief are important, as are Stan and Jack. The inclusion of Frank Miller and Todd McFarlane seems to indicate that we're also including at least those writers & artists who contributed significantly to the history of Marvel. What about somebody like Howard Mackie or Sergio Aragonés? Chuck Austen? James Owsley/Christopher Priest (incidentally, how do we name him? Born James Owsley [and worked in comics under that name], now goes by Christopher Priest, although there's also a science fiction writer named Christopher Priest. I suppose we'll have to disambiguate him, as well as Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid)/Ralph Macchio (comics)]. -leigh (φθόγγος) 00:34, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)

This is a problemmatic and duplicative list. Much the same material appears at List of comic creators (which includes both those who have created characters or comics, and well-known writers/artists who are "comic book creators" in a more general sense. Should not this list be merged with the other? --Tenebrae, Sept. 8, 2005, 6:31PM
