Dr Light?

In the Marvel section there is a listing for Dr. Light. Since a character of this name has been in use by DC for many years it seems unlikely there was ever a Marvel comic with this name, and the only solo Dr. Light story I can find in DC (in Showcase '96 #8) was written by someone else.

Reply to above: This is erroneous information. There was no comicbook called Dr Light published by Marvel comics. Sadly, the official dixon site even picked up the snafu, beleived it to be true, and lists this non-existant comic. The listing for Dr Light should be deleted.

Dixon's statements on the issue of homosexuality should be discussed on his wiki. He claims not to be homophobic, but his statements that comics are for kids and should not have complicex social issues such as homosexuality goes against his own previous body of work which did bring up complex real-life issues from time to time.

I agree. A specific (and very recent) example is the Grifter/Midnighter 6-issue miniseries published earlier this year, written by Dixon. The book is clearly not for "kids", if the criteria for kid material means a series has no homosexuality, no complex social issues, etc. I mean, how could you really write a "kid's book" involving the Authority (And specifically a gay member/the most violent member)? When did Dixon ever say that comic books should be for kids? I'd like to see the source on that. Also, don't forget to sign your posts. Zebraic 07:12, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
