Missed It: Irene Vartanoff Interview

image

A couple of you wrote in to gently chide me for not bringing attention to this fine interview with Irene Vartanoff -- the second e-mail made me scramble to go look at it, and you folks were right. Vartanoff did assistantship-editorial-management-writing stints with both mainstream comics companies from the early 1970s into the early 1980s. She was also a figure in the Jack Kirby art scandal, having done I think the only true attempt at a catalog and general inventory on Marvel's original art holdings.

It's a very clear-headed interview with some practical talk as to what happened to romance comics during the time she was in comics.
