Alex ZalbenHOST
Legendary comic book artist Kevin Maguire turned 66 today, so let's celebrate him by taking a look back through his career.
Alex ZalbenHOST
While Maguire first got started with work on the official handbook of the Marvel Universe in 1986, the following year he began what is likely his magnum opus, a run on Justice League and Justice League International with writers Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis.
Alex ZalbenHOST
Characterized by a lighter touch and more comedy, Maguire penciled 24 issues of the book, returned for the final story in issue 60, and then reunited with the team in 2003 for formerly known as the Justice League.

Other than
Peter RiosHOST
His name's Peter.
Peter RiosHOST
What more do I need? Written by Keith Giffen, the character was given a new place in the Marvel Universe with a new attitude.
Peter RiosHOST
Giffen is fond of writing characters that probably mimic what Keith himself would do or say in certain situations.
Peter RiosHOST
Peter Quill was that character in Marvel's new revamped Cosmic Space Opera.
Peter RiosHOST
Yeah.
Peter RiosHOST
I'm fairly certain that Star-Lord magazine had John Byrne artwork, which helps, you know? So, yeah, another character I need to deep dive in.
Peter RiosHOST
Speaking of Keith Giffen, this comes from March of 2012.
Peter RiosHOST
It's entitled From the Mouth of Keith Giffen.
Christopher CantwellGUEST
Now I should say, like, something really weird.
Christopher CantwellGUEST
Maybe the Geffen Lobo.
Christopher CantwellGUEST
Like, that would be-
Matthew KleinHOST
Ooh
Christopher CantwellGUEST
... yeah, Geffen, like, Geffen Lobo.
Christopher CantwellGUEST
Geffen Lobo maybe, or Wade's original solo Impulse title.
Christopher CantwellGUEST
Very good.
Matthew KleinHOST
Very fun.
Devin FaraciHOST
Yeah.
Derek FaraciHOST
You know, so what are we gonna do? And then I think with that they were like, "Well, anything that had another writer with it that we can, you know, mainly credit in some way, we'll, we'll do that." So, like, Emerald Dawn one and two, Keith Giffen co-wrote those, so those are available, you know.
Derek FaraciHOST
But I, he, I believe he wrote his run on Green Lantern solo, so those are not available.
Devin FaraciHOST
Yeah.
Ryan HigginsHOST
Because in a similar fashion, so many of the creators from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Ryan HigginsHOST
Well, so many of the people, Keith Giffen, Tim Stale.
Ryan HigginsHOST
But 70s and 80s, yeah.
Ryan HigginsHOST
Like, really important people from...
Phil PerichHOST
all right so justin the owl uh i was gonna say what's going on in the last library of legends but i know i just saw a new dr light episode
Justin OsgoodPANELIST
yes luminosity actually guest starring yourself as a special guest co-host we're talking about dr light's inclusion with the relaunch of the justice league back in 1987 with jmd matthias and keith giffen and kevin mcguire heck
Phil PerichHOST
yeah Times
Justin OsgoodPANELIST
yeah
Andrew SantoroHOST
Very fun.
Adam QuesnellHOST
Lobo was created in by Roger Sliffer and Keith Giffen for Omega Man number three.
Adam QuesnellHOST
DC Comics Lobo.
Adam QuesnellHOST
Yeah,
Kyle StarksGUEST
But I will say this, when I did Lobo, I was doing Lobo, I was doing my job, I was doing the best Lobo I can.
Kyle StarksGUEST
I think I did a very, very good Lobo because I love Lobo, um, because I think Keith Giffen and I have very similar aesthetics.
Kyle StarksGUEST
But when I had it in my hands, I was like, "Oh, wait, 17-year-old me would think that this is cool." Like, this is finally the thing that I did, and that's probably why when Vertigo came along, and also like End of Life is kind of maybe next to like Sea Guy, the first sort of humor forward Vertigo book.
Kyle StarksGUEST
So it's sort of on its own island.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
That was 84 to 89.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
And then there was the book that Keith Giffen did.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
Anyway, I liked it.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
I didn't know what to expect, but I liked it.
Joshua WilliamsonGUEST
I really did go and think about it.
Joshua WilliamsonGUEST
And then having somebody like Hayden there who is brand new to it, brand new to it, And I feel like there's definitely some influence of Keith Giffen and Five Year Later Legion in it.
Joshua WilliamsonGUEST
And I don't know that, I don't think Hayden approached it like that at first.
Joshua WilliamsonGUEST
I think later that started to come in.
