Jim Shooter interview (March 30, 2022)

Post by greg »

Released on April 14, 2022 as Episode 089 of the Midnight On Earth podcast with Jake Weaver:

Three hours of interview with Jim Shooter - discussing D.C., Marvel, Valiant, Defiant, Broadway
https://play.acast.com/s/5f21a23ad66cdc ... 00139fe58f

Jump to 1:06:30 to hear 20 minutes of Valiant discussion :thumb:

Defiant discussion starts right after Valiant, at 1:27:15

Jim references possible Valiant counterfeit books at 2:37:30, though other knowledgeable sources say Jim has mistaken some of the details.
Illegal sale of books back in 1992, yes, but not counterfeits... just ill-gotten legit copies and an arrest made in the midwest.

Listened to a lot of Shooter interviews the last few years, and this dude is my favorite. Most people gloss over the post-Marvel years, but this guy is a big fan and knows his stuff about Valiant, Defiant and Broadway.

Great job on the questions Greg, next we need that exclusive 3 hour interview of Shooter reading all his post-Unity notes :D

Looking forward to hearing more about Shooter's upcoming Image projects and more interviews from Jake.

RIP Defiant1

Does anyone have any idea about what Shooter was talking about when he mentioned getting a call from NBC about Warriors of Plasm? Maybe I misunderstood. I would love a Defiant return.
