The most alarming part for me is that, so far as I can find, DC never acknowledged any of these allegations, and Carlin retired with full honors just three months back. I certainly don't believe in condemning someone before all the facts have been aired, but for DC and Carlin to not even acknowledge these accusations is disturbing. Has anyone else come forward about Carlin in the five years since this was shared? If he had a long history of problems with female co-workers, it seems like someone should have. By the way, who is the beloved DC editor of the 1980s that D’Orazio refers to who had issues with women? I wouldn't want to speculate, without any evidence, as that gets pretty dangerous. I know Julie Schwartz was accused of harassing behaviors to women, by Jill Thompson, and others, but he was retired by the 80s and made their little ambassador to fandom (which I also heard just perpetuated things in conventions. As much as I admired Julie and had several great interactions with him at cons (and once on the street in NYC), he was the first person I thought of. Julie Schwartz, Mike Carlin, Eddie Berganza - you know something's wrong when Mort Weisigner starts looking like a saint in comparison to his successors. Probably because he was out of the picture long before this era.

Well, this can't go on this long without me sharing this...

I'll admit--and maybe it's a generational thing--that I can barely look at any of this stuff and was going to default to a Normalman cover, but found this by Valentino...

I just looked up Ramona Fradon. She is still alive at the age of 96! Joe Staton recently posted a photo of himself and his wife at dinner with Ms Fradon, along with Walt and Louise Simonson, Terry Austin, and Todd Dezago. (It's on his FB page--not sure is this link'll work.)
