Seventies, eighties and nineties industry artist Pat Broderick has been talking about his career over at
Comicon and... boy. Here's a few quotes.
"I landed the Iron Fist job from Marvel and moved back to Tampa where I then lost the job to John Byrne. Who says that I told the editor that my cat ate the art, which was wrong John, although youll insist otherwise, I told him correctly that the cat had destroyed the pages Actually he took a dump on them then tried to use what he shredded to cover it up with."
"I landed the Micronauts job and stayed on that title until Jim Shooter drove me away. Jim used to love to mess with certain people while he was editor and chief. And Basically told me over a conference call with myself and Weezy, my editor that he didnt care how well the title was selling I would never get a raise while he was there."
"At the time my youngest son Ryan had developed a very serious, life threatening medical condition and the major medical coverage which DC offered to all contracted freelancers actually turned out to be a 30,000 dollar family policy. When I pointed this out the DCs upper management they actually tried to use my sons illness and a promise of a better policy as a negotiation point for extending my contract another four years."
"my all time best series. Doom 2099. All most 3 years later and the world was just fine. Until that British a** hole writer came on board and decided he would change everything that wed had laid in place. So he got me removed from the series after we had a heated run in. And to my satisfaction the series was cancelled after only five more issues."
