The remarkably different pictures of Rob Liefeld and Jim Shooter beckon to all comic book fans

Rob Liefeld, whose work I generally loathe, has a picture that looks like your typical “douchebag high school portrait special,” complete with generic backdrop. Jim Shooter, whose work I generally admire, has one that makes him look like a contented South American cartel hitman (or Razor Ramon, take your pick). I don’t know what this signifies for the cosmic balance. Probably nothing. Just keep this in mind if you want to travel back in time to help grandly open another Mile High Comics store.

Also, Defiant may have opened and closed in the time it took Shooter to sign autographs and conduct his seminar.
