San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC) returned last week back after its pandemic-related hiatus. And this year Comic-Con Legend Jim Starlin celebrated 50 years in comics with a special panel at SDCC. We sat down with Jim Starlin to talk about the ups and downs of his career and how it feels to have been part of the industry for so long.

Jim Starlin

Best known for being the creator of Marvel’s Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet Saga. Jim Starlin is one of the most influential writers in comics history. And his influence on the Marvel Cinematic Universe runs deep. Starlin has created many of Marvel’s best-loved characters like Guardians Of The Galaxy’s DRAXX and Gamora, which audiences have grown to love both the comics and live-action versions

But his work also reaches beyond Marvel. He has worked on several successful DC Comics Titles including the Justice League and Superboy, creating one of the most beloved runs on Batman: A Death In The Family, and launching his own independent creation Dreadstar which returned in 2021.
