Comic Creators in Letters Pages

[Kirk G]

Has anyone ever done a complete count of all the fans who grew up to become comic creators themselves?

I was reading only the letters pages from the FF Omnibus #2 to see how much of an impact the change in inkers from Chic Stone to Vinnie Colleta made, when I came across a letter from a Dave Cockrum.

Last year, I ran across a letter from Tony Isabella in Thor #146 or so...
And recently, someone has mentioned Wendi and Richard Peni , and also Roy Thomas, and possibly others...

Has anyone made a list of people who had letters printed in comics years before?

If not, I'd be interested to see who spots a famous name.

Cary Bates, Frank Brunner, Kurt Busiek, Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum, Mary Jo Duffy, Mark Evanier, Mike Friedrich, Steve Gerber, Keith Giffen, Mark Gruenwald, Fred Hembeck, Ralph Macchio, Elliot Maggin, Bill Mantlo, Todd MacFarlane, Don McGregor, Doug Moench, Carlos Pacheco, Bob Rozakis, Jim Shooter, Walt Simonson, Roy Thomas, Mark Waid, Alan Weiss, Marv Wolfman, Cat Yronwode... and that's just off the top of my head, based on comics in my collection.

Cei-U!
I summon the honor roll!

I crave your indulgence to Simon Garth this thread with Warlock No. 1, a recent purchase, as mentioned on another thread, with a loccol featuring;

Marc DeMatteis
Richard Pini
Steven D. Grant

[Red Oak Kid]

Klaus Janson.

As for Jim Shooter, I think he was working for DC when he was 14 or 15 years old so I don't know if he had a letter printed before that. But I'm not sure if he was getting paid at that age.

I had a letter in an issue of CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN back in the early 1960s; I think it had giant insects on the cover. And a few years ago, I had a letter in ACTION COMICS which noted the presence of The Dingbats Of Danger Street in a recent issue.

Aloha,

Scott!

Holy crap!
That's a great list!
Any more?
