Today in Comics History, September 3: Happy birthday, Pat Redding!

Born on this day: assistant editor at Marvel and comic book inker (occasionally penciller, colorist and/or scripter) Pat Redding Scanlon (Conan, Spider-Man, The Screwtape Letters, and more!)


from Marvel Age #33 and 57 (Marvel, December 1985 and December 1987); text by Jim Salicrup (#33) and Mike Carlin (#57); pencils and inks by Ron Zalme; colors by Adam Philips (#33) and Paul Becton (#57)



A great short interview with Pat. I absolutely cheer "My greatest unfulfilled ambition in the comics field is: Not to be taken for granted." Go, Pat, Go!
