Appendix: Bill Mantlo
If you're a comic book fan, I truly hope you know the name Bill Mantlo. For one thing, he was the "Fill-in King". When Marvel started becoming notorious for late issues, they started a fill-in policy to address this and if you needed a quick and creative story to keep a deadline, Bill Mantlo was the guy to turn to. If it was a licensed property, no one wanted to touch it, just ask Larry Hama on how he got G.I. Joe. However, Bill Mantlo was out there pumping out Rom: Space Knight and the Micronauts (winner of 1979 Eagle Award for Favorite New Comic Title) as well as taking his turn on Tarzan, Human Fly, John Carter: Warlord of Mars, Man from Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Questprobe, Buckaroo Banzai, The Last Starfighter, Sectaurs, Red Sonja, and Savage Sword of Conan. If you're a fan of Rocket Raccoon or Cloak & Dagger or Swords of the Swashbucklers, he co-created them. Reference to Bruce Banner's troubled and abused childhood, that started with Mantlo. As well as fill-ins, he had runs on many titles including The Incredible Hulk, Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man, and Iron Man. At the same time, he studied, earned his law license and was out there fighting for real people in real life as a Legal Aid Society public defender in the Bronx. All that changed when Bill was the victim of a hit-and-run accident while roller blading on July 17, 1992. The injuries were so severe that when he came out of the coma, he has had to have full time care at a health facility ever since. In 2014, Bill was awarded the Bill Finger award.
