  Michael Golden fostered an entire generation of comic book artists in the early 90's and his influence is still felt today. I have DVD's, books, anything that has to do with Golden and still could never get a idea of who he was but your Youtube video is by far the best I have ever seen on this eccentric man.

  Great and thorough document, really enlightening.  I had the fortune to see Mr. Golden in 1983 (I think) at the Houston comic con, where he spoke as a panel member of artists.  He definitely came across as an arrogant and jaded person, saying that he disliked the comic business and actually discouraged any artists in the audience from entering into the comics field. This of course was hard for many of us to reconcile, especially seeing his work and finding it hard to believe that someone with such a craft disliked doing it.  He also said then that he was doing graphic art and design more, and comics not so much.  One thing that he said that was hard for me to believe was that he no longer did pencil layouts, and just started drawing straight into the page with ink.  This flipped my wig then, thinking that it was either then sign of a savant, or a lot of hokum.  Now I think that he was just doing a bit of self aggrandizement, in keeping with his snarky-ness at the time.  I really loved his work on Micronauts, that i got from the spinner rack as they came out, and it influenced my ideas of form and composition greatly.  Looking forward to seeing part 2!

  Shooter&apos;s treatment to Golden seems to echo his treatment to contemporary fellow &nbsp;Micronauts artist Pat Broderick: &quot;Jim Shooter had all but informed me that, in his opinion, my art sucked and that I would never get another raise there, regardless of how well my books were selling.&quot; <br><br>Broderick has made known his liking of Golden&apos;s work

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pg_yvCo4JM&amp;t=2433">40:33</a> - I was unaware Heath was an influence on Golden, but the art similarities have always struck me. &nbsp;On Showcase Presents Haunted Tank, Heath’s b&amp;w work looks a lot like Golden’s: explosions, tech, storytelling, etc. I’m still watching and listening to this epic episode, Jerk! Incredible effort. Thank you! 👍

  Incredible! Can’t wait for part 2! Had no idea about Golden’s supposed lack of interest and/or access to comics as a kid.

  My brother and I loved the Micronauts. Interesting to hear what a mess it was behind the scenes. Now having worked in comics many many years its more surprising when things do click into place. Great video.

  This is a great deep dive. The cliff-hanger ending got me. I can&apos;t wait for part 2.
