Talk:Mark Bristow
Got curious and followed the links. Allspark's is no longer valid, and not even the Internet Wayback Machine can get at it. I couldn't find anything via Google revealing Bodycount's identity, or at least anything mentioning that handle and Bristow together besides this page. Did it get discovered in private conversation at a convention or something?--Apcog 17:35, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- As far as I know, it's general knowledge. --ItsWalky 18:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- Well, Nevermore's the one who told me, and he's someone I can usually trust. --DrSpengler 19:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

- Okay, at least we have something we can point to as a reference. Presumably, Nevermore got the info from this same statement. How reliable is "Tekcorps" as an info source? Not to disparage the person; I just want to be sure we're not jumping to conclusions based on poor evidence or anything. Take the fact that I'm horrendously clueless about IDW staff into consideration, too.--Apcog 20:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- Tekcorps pals around with Bodycount all the time. For which we shun and disparage him. --ItsWalky 22:38, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- I find it absolutely hilarious that Bodycount is colouring G1-based comics. - Chris McFeely 22:53, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- And coloring some of them badly, if the linked threads are to be believed. (I haven't seen the issues in question myself.) Wonder if he's doing it on purpose?
- Anyway, saying Tekcorps pals around with Bodycount still doesn't quite answer the question. Has it been confirmed, or is it just on his say-so? Yeah, I know, flogging deceased equines and all that, but if we're gonna keep some kind of high ground, I wanna be sure it's solid.--Apcog 23:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

- I knew Bodycount's first name beforehand, but not the last name. It was another IDW colorist who confirmed to me that he and Bristow were one and the same.--Nevermore 22:25, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I remember running across a sale/trade feedback post for Bodycount where the poster confirmed that not only had Bodycount ripped him off, but provided his name (Mark Bristow), his AIM (Mark Coroner), and an address in Oklahoma. I think it was on the 2005 boards, but I can't be sure, it was a few years ago.--peteynorth
I really kind of want to headline this page with the TFans quote, "I'm a fan, not you. And they ARE designed for children because they are TOYS, you worthless fat idiots." It sums up Bodycount's online approach very succinctly.--MCRG 00:13, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
