And now ....

12. R: Name someone who has been editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics

Let's take these guys in chronological order. Joe Simon was the first Editor in Chief; nobody went with him. When Joe Simon left, publisher Martin Goodman appointed his nephew to run the place:

Stan Lee is worth 3 points

maxfisher
The Bus

Then one day, the Nazis bombed Pearl Harbor. Stan was off to war! In his absence, a gentleman named Vince Fago took over as Editor in Chief.

Vince is the guy in the middle.
Tracer Bullet is rewarded with -2 points: -3 for being one of four uniques, +1 for using Google.

So after Stan was through killing Nazis writing manuals and propaganda films for the Army, he went back to his uncle's company where he served as editor in chief for the next 25 years. Along the way, he created the Marvel Universe. Then, in 1972, he moved up to the publisher's chair and handed the Editor in Chief title off to his protege, Roy Thomas

3 points for:
JasonF
CaptainMarvel
Trevor

(Captain Marvel gets 4 points on account of Google usage).

Roy marked the begining of a tumultuous period where a half dozen people held the Editor-in-Chief title in as many years. First was Roy, of course, followed by

Len Wein, worth 2 points
foggy
fujishig

Marv Wolfman is unique for Mboyd and is therefore worth -3 points.

Gerry Conway was next; nobody mentioned him. After Gerry was Archie Goodwin, the fine moustachioed gentleman in this photo:

Archie is worth 2 points for Nick Danger and 5 points for Googler extraordinaire brainee.

Hey Jason, did my musical choice of the Scrubs theme make a difference?

Finally, after Archie, 1978 saw the begining of the iron-fisted reign of Jim Shooter

7 points each for:
burnside986
dadaluholla
brianluvdvd
RKillgore
ivelostr2
Meatwad's Ghost
davidh777

Yes -- it bumped you and Meatwad's Ghost back to non-matching answers worth 0 points each. The standings reflect this.

Shooter was followed by ... anyone? Anyone?

Tom DeFalco. Rockmjd23 was the only one who remembered Tom. Rock gets -3 points for being one-of-a-kind.

It's pronounced "Killing Gnatsees!"

After Tom, Bob Harras came along to guide Marvel through the dark years of the nineties. You may remember him from such hits as "Rob Liefeld's Captain America" and "The Spider-Clone Saga." Yeesh.

Most of you have blotted Bob from your memory, but Lokimok has not, and he therefore gets -3 points for being unique.

I only knew Stan Lee. Unless Joe Q is the new editor-in-chief. Then I know him too.

Finally, Bob was succeeded by:

Joey da Q, aka Joe Quesada. The following people get 3 points each:
Nogura
hitman tommy
fumanstan

Ralph Macchio (no, not that one!) has been an editor at Marvel for about 30 years. But he's never been Editor in Chief. Sorry, reverie -- you get 9 points.

I thought Harras, Shooter, Quesada, and Lee would be the most chosen answers

Damn!
