Today in Comics History, May 24: Happy birthday, Evan Skolnick!

Born on this day: Evan Skolnick, comics writer/editor (Iron Man, RoboCop, NFL SuperPro, Excalibur, Deathlok, New Warriors and more) and video game writer/instructor (Sonic the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, Guitar Hero III, Cuphead, and others)!

Here's another reason I love 'im: apparently Evan Skolnick, like me, tries to leave parties early. (I just have social anxiety.)

But he doesn't seem to mind crowded offices! Can you find Evan Skolnick amongst (amongst?) the assorted Marvel Bullpenners? Hint: Douglas Adams would like him.
