Jim Salicrup (born May 27, 1957) is an American comics writer and editor who wrote the script for issue #2 of the Marvel G1 comic, and was the sole credited writer on issues #3 and #4. He was basically fired from Transformers to make way for Bob Budiansky and he was glad Bob got him fired so he wouldn't have to keep track of all of those ****ing different characters. [1]
Other writing credits he's willing to admit to (see below) include Inhumanoids, Visionaries, Kool-Aid Man, Quik Bunny, The A-Team, and a handful of Spider-Man titles (such as Spidey Super Stories and the Spider-Man half of the Spider Man and the Power Pack child abuse prevention comic). Similarly, Spider-Man titles make up most of his editing credits, too, along with What The-?! and Not Brand Ecch.
After finishing out his time with Marvel, he was editor-in-chief of (the short-lived) Topps Comics and ultimately became editor-in-chief of graphic novel house Papercutz. He is also a trustee of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art.
Notes
- To quote his Marvel Pro File (June 1988, taken from G. I. Joe #72), "...and many more that even I won't admit to." Given that in the same profile he regards the The Official Marvel Comics Toilet Paper starring The Amazing Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk to be the one individual work that he's the proudest of, that's saying something.
- ... especially since he states that he started with Marvel while in high school, giving him a rather long time to be writing and editing.
- In the same profile, he takes pride in the fact that he - like "most Marvel Universe characters" - was born in Manhattan.
