    Celebrating Peter David (With Cole Netscape of “Marvelous! Or, The Death of Cinema”)

    This week on The Marvelists, Peter and Eddie are joined by Cole Netscape from “Marvelous! Or, The Death of Cinema” to honor the late Peter David, whose iconic Marvel runs on The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man 2099, and X-Factor shaped the superhero genre. They celebrate his creation of characters like Miguel O’Hara and his lasting impact on comics. The discussion turns critical as they address David’s financial struggles, highlighted by his GoFundMe for medical expenses, which sparked debate on platforms like Twitter about major companies like Marvel undercompensating creators. The trio examines the industry’s failure to provide adequate financial support or health benefits for comic creators, despite profiting from their work, and calls for systemic change. Join us for a heartfelt tribute and thought-provoking discussion on the comics industry’s challenges.
