Thanks to the fine folks at the Capes and Lunatics podcast, I got to have a fun chat with longtime Marvel writer and editor D.G. Chichester, catching up for the first time in many years. We talked about working on Spider-Man and Daredevil, the early days of Epic Comics, the ups and downs of the freelance life, and other things. Enjoy!

Great podcast, lots of stuff to talk about.
ReplyDeleteThe stretch of the Clone Saga where you and DeFalco were writing Peter's adventures while Kavanagh and Mackie were writing Ben's worked well. The 2 and 2 pairings were more cohesive than the stories divvied up 4 ways. I also enjoyed the way Peter & Ben were kept from interacting a while (the Unlimited story where they worked the same situation without meeting was well done).
Daredevil's cameo shocked me at the time, I was like why is he giving Peter such terrible advice?? So naturally I looked into it! Nicely played, Mr Daredevil writer.
I'm curious what you thought of the youth vampire Vulture. I was never too keen on the redesign (Ditko's Vulture is too cool to mess with imo). But the concept itself felt worthy of a new character not named Toomes. I liked his team up with the Owl at any rate.

I don't recall much about that version of the Vulture, David, but I suspect I preferred the classic Vulture.
DeleteYes, it was fun doing crossovers with just two writers instead of four. Made things a lot more manageable and consistent across all parts. And Tom D is a delight to work with.
