I heard about these events when I was a young comic book fanboy and they helped to fuel many a rainy afternoon of trying to learn the skills involved. Sadly only the Scripting skill stuck and to this day I still find myself writing out comic scripts in my spare time for an audience who will never see them.
I wonder just how many people actually got their start in the industry from this book? Would have to at least be a few. Anyone ever heard of someone who started this way? I would love to hear the story.

Mark Bagley (who wrapped up a long, long run on Ultimate Spider-Man about a year ago and is now on the DC Weekly title Trinity) got his start from that book, so there’s one at least!

Nice! I didn’t know that was how Mr. Bagley broke into the biz, but as a Marvel reader and especially one who is a reader of titles he has worked on, I am glad that he did.
As a devotee of all things Lovecraft I am glad to see you drop by the site - you are very talented. Everyone should be picking up Cthulhu Tales:
