I took the job because it was the only way I could get a foot in the door as a writer. They were actually correct in that regard. Licensed comics were bottom rung- only D-list talents worked on them because they paid the lowest rates (licensing fees were taken off the top of the page rate) and older pros told me that if I did a “toy book” I would never be offered an A list book for the rest of my career. Ironically, Larry Hama’s big break in the comic industry was with Marvel’s GI Joe, a job no one else really wanted.
