“On My Recommendation, I Talked to Stan…” – Continued Dispatches From The Roy Thomas Dishonesty Tour

So much. So much has happened on the ongoing Roy Thomas Lies campaign that I barely know where to begin, o frantic ones. It’s hardly been three months since awareness of the Rascally One’s villainy increased, due to longtime Marvel editor Bobbie Chase post regarding Thomas’s retroactively granted credit as the co-creator of Wolverine. So […]

“I’m Getting More Used To The Boys At The Office”- Patricia Highsmith’s Golden Age Diary Entries

Patricia Highsmith’s recent semi-resurgence due to the new television series I’ll never watch, Ripley (based on her sociopathic and frequently adapted character, grifter Tom Ripley) admittedly frustrated me as I’d been planning on writing and compiling this piece for some time and would have preferred to not appear as if I’m being topical in presenting […]

“I’M NOT SHY ANYMORE”- The Awareness-Lacking Admissions Of The Rascally One

Roy Thomas has gotten bolder. Or maybe… just maybe? I’ve been wrong all along. I’m serious. Perhaps Roy hasn’t been scheming in the traditional sense, and isn’t purposely trying to be an abhorrent lying thief and scoundrel- I mean, I know his Manager/Hanger On/Leech John Cimino is all of those things, as well as the […]

“Must Be The Only Thing Written About Roy Thomas that Roy Never Read…” – On The Public and Prolific Bitterness of Roy Thomas

It had been brought up more than once, notably by Patrick Ford, how often a certain generation of Marvel employees referred to Jack Kirby in the press as “bitter“- and the irony in that considering that many of the employees guilty of that particular smear were, themselves, quite prolific in public venting, righteous indignation, fragile […]

“But What I Have, No One Can Buy.”- An Exclusive Interview With Andy Olsen, Creator of The First Wolverine

I believe without doubt that Andy Olsen is the smoking gun. Andy Olsen may not agree with that and certainly doesn’t want me to speak for him. Nevertheless, Olsen is without doubt the undeniable proof that Roy Thomas did not create Wolverine in any significant size, shape, or form. And that’s a lot of pressure, […]

“I Hope His Widow Gets Rich Off It”- More On Roy the Ghoul and The Power of Recorded Statements

So much to go over and the developments are hardly over. This entry might seem a little haphazard as there’s a few things to cover, but it’s all part of an overall pattern that Four Color Sinners has been documenting for the better part of a year; not because it was the hot topic in […]

“Roy Knows This, But He’s Turned Into a Ghoul Late in Life…” – The Comics Biz Gets Wise, Better Late Than Never

I suppose it had to happen tho’ I wish it had happened earlier. A portion of the comics industry has begun to finally speak out against what Four Color Sinners has been covering and compiling for the better part of a year: the ongoing and calculated makeover of Roy Thomas as the co-creator of various […]
