Pat Broderick, Shooter wasn't a fan...

[Brother J]

I really like the work Pat Broderick is doing in the issues of Micronauts I am currently reading, so I wanted to learn more about him. I picked up this interesting paragraph on his Wikipedia page:

In 1982, Broderick abruptly left Marvel for DC. As he said in a 2003 interview, "In 1982, Jim Shooter had all but informed me that, in his opinion, my art sucked and that I would never get another raise there, regardless of how well my books were selling. So one quick phone call to DC and I was in."[2] During his time at DC, Broderick worked on Firestorm, Captain Atom, Batman: Year Three, Swamp Thing, and Green Lantern.

I don't know, I'm a fan of Shooter's, but I have to say I strongly disagree with his opinion in this case.

There was always something about Pat Brodericks art that i enjoyed.

I've always liked Broderick's art. I bought an early run of Firestorm a few years back because of his art.

A solid illustrator for sure, not sure what one would complain about—could use the man over at DH.

DH seems to have gone downhill from the work they did in the 90's, at least in terms of interior artwork. Solar looks dreadful.

And that's my point sadly...

Fairly straightforward draftsmanship, but far from complete garbage...

I wonder what MotA thinks of your disagreement with the Word of St. Jim.
