bncordeiro asked:

In a previous response you wrote that Stan Lee is "...certainly the most well-known comic book creator, the person that somebody from outside of our industry is most likely to recognize." I'm a huge Stan Lee fan (meeting him oh so briefly at Boston Comic Con back in August was a major bucket list moment) but who would you consider to be the second most well-known comic book creator? Who would you pick as the next most recognizable "somebody from outside our industry" alive and/or passed?

brevoortformspring Answer:

That’s a very good question. These days, Joe Quesada maybe.

kurtbusiek:

Dude! Sergio Aragonés!

…Rob Liefeld? He did that Gap commercial! Matt Fraction was on a talk show that one time. Netflix is now the Marvel Bendis Network, but you never see him.

    While we do not agree on Neil, I still think you are a friend. But I do not agree.
