Today in Comics History, October 7: Happy birthday, Nick Lowe!

Born on this day: Nick Lowe!


"Cruel to be Kind" by Nick Lowe (Stiff, 1979), written by Nick Lowe and Ian Gomm; music video filmed at Lowe's actual wedding!

No, no! Not that Nick Lowe. (He was born on March 24.) I'm talkin' about Marvel Editor Nick Lowe, vice president of content and executive editor at Marvel Comics. He's edited a whole shebang of Marvel Comics (Ultimate Spider-Man, The Ultimates, Ultimate Iron Man, Nextwave, Neil Gaiman's The Eternals, X-Men, Runaways and many more)!

Surely there are more appearances of Nick Lowe in comics where he's not being choked out of his life. Well, sure, but they're mighty tiny!

So, a very happy birthday to you, Nick Lowe!
