Today in Comics History, September 13: Happy birthday, Lynn Cohen!

Born on this day: Lynn Cohen-Koehler, Administrative Manager at Marvel in the 1980s — and Jim Shooter's personal assistant!


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)



Which meant that when Shooter was away during the infamous Assistant Editor's Month, Lynn took over the Bullpen Bulletins and gave us this grand tour of the Bullpen!

Lynn is good at getting Jim Shooter to the meetings he needs to go to!

(I don't think this short bio of Lynn is 100% accurate.)
