Remembering Jim Shooter

Legendary writer, editor, and Valiant Comics founding father

The comic book industry has lost one of its most influential architects. Jim Shooter—visionary writer, transformative editor, and co-founder of Valiant Comics—passed away this week at the age of 73.

Shooter's trailblazing career began when he was just 13, submitting stories to DC Comics that would soon see print in the pages of Superman and Legion of Super-Heroes. His early talent and drive launched a legendary trajectory, culminating in his appointment as Editor-in-Chief at Marvel Comics during a pivotal era. There, Shooter oversaw the rise of fan-favorite creators and launched the groundbreaking Secret Wars—the first true crossover event, reshaping the business and storytelling of comics for a new generation.

After Marvel, Shooter embarked on arguably his careers crowning achievement by co-founding Valiant Comics. Assembling a powerhouse creative team including Bob Layton, Barry Windsor-Smith, David Lapham, and Don Perlin. Together, they redefined what a publisher could achieve, building a rich, cohesive universe with more grounded superhero characters. With Valiant, Shooter was the first to create a connected universe from the ground up with sometimes dark and edgy storylines that took bold risks. Shooter co-created many of Valiant's most enduring characters: X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Archer & Armstrong, Eternal Warrior, Peter Stanchek, Toyo Harada, and the supernatural icon Shadowman.

Shooter's editorial philosophy was simple and uncompromising: story comes first. His keen eye for talent and demand for clarity, structure, and emotional resonance helped shape generations of creators—and brought readers some of the most memorable comics of the past half-century.

Jim Shooter's influence still resonates across the industry. The worlds he built and the characters he helped shape continue to live on—in comics, in media, and in the imaginations of fans everywhere. His legacy endures not just in his creations, but in the path he helped pave for storytellers in general. His many creations boldly continue today to further inspire generations of young comic fans.

Rest in power, Jim. Your legacy is eternal.

Our thoughts are with Jim’s family, friends, and fans.
