The Bill Mantlo Project

Después de lo de Sanchís, uno de nuestros leguleyos habituales nos remite una bonita iniciativa por la que la hija de Bill Mantlo está intentando recrear la biblioteca de las obras de su padre. Mantlo, guionista de Marvel durante los setenta y los ochenta, fue víctima de un atropello con fuga en 1992 y lleva desde entonces ingresado en un hospital, pues necesita cuidados constantes. Le cedemos la palabra:



My dad, Bill Mantlo was a prolific comic book writer, mostly for Marvel. Always voicing his political and moral beliefs in his comics, believing in them so strongly that he quit the business to become a public defender. In a car accident in 1992, he has been in a hospital ever since. He had amassed an incredible comic book collection over the years before the accident which was lost. In a much smaller undertaking, I am attempting to complete a library of my dad's work. Any and all help in completing the collection, or even just filling in the list is greatly appreciated

Sincerely,
Corinna Mantlo
