i've been told to skip his FFour arc

I think he's pretty well regarded but comic writers tend to fall into two categories. The big rock star writers who change things forever then fuck off and your regular workhorse make the status quo kinds of writers.

Englehart was a really fling everything at the wall and see what sticks kinda guy. It can end up a mess. He's a pillar of the Avengers but I never loved his stuff.

>>153740719
I only remember him from making Hal Jordan a pedophile.

>>153740719
A lot of his stuff was out of print
Sometimes maybe Wizard might recommend something he wrote (I vaugely remember them recommending something from his Avengers), but they didn't recommend it to the extent that they kept recommending say, DKR or the Spider-Man vs Juggernaut story that Roger Stern and JRJR did
A lot of 00s fanboys and industry people were gleefully willing to memoryhole most things made before the 2000s to prop up whatever then current-crap they were pushing, and I only knew about Englehart's comics through reading a back-and-forth between comic fans and some guy who used to be Busiek's friend
In the 2010s the only time I remembered seeing something Englehart wrote, get brought up a lot was the the Secret Empire story with the implication Nixon was the leader. Nothing about how the run actually was, just that being brought up as some kind of gotcha in a political debate by people who don't read enough comics, arguing against other people don't read enough comics.

The 2000s had a disgusting attitude to anything older. It's like they had this idea that comics were COOL now because they were becoming more like TV.

Still seething about repeatedly getting BTFO whenever you bitched about “comics being too political today”, huh?

Sounds more like you're seething at the truth

There are many different types, but the rock star writers range from hacks to decent writers. The status quo writers are just hacks.

>>153744610
That's what a hack tells himself to cope

>>153742894
It was Englehart's 1970s Batman and Captain America work that they recommended, IIRC, but no, not to the extent that they'd recommend any random issue of the month that Claremont, Byrne or Stern did in the 80s, because the Wizard staffers were total 80s Marvel guys.

>>153744610
A lot of the "great stories" in big 2 cape comics by those "rock star writers" are SOMEONE DIES or EVERYTHING YOU KNEW IS WRONG, or deconstructionism where the writer breaks the character then leaves. A lot of the time it's less them being "decent writers" and just them having the freedom to break the toys that everyone else didn't have. It's a tragedy that fandom venerates these guys while crapping on the writers who were actually capable of telling "the continuing adventures" entertainingly without breaking the toys.

>>153742305
he did both.
doctor strange is the sorcerer supreme because of his run
Cap became Nomad during his run

To be fair, he was the rare "change things then stick around to see how the change plays out" writer, which is a much better thing to be than the guy who changes everything then moves on. His 70s Avengers is similar until he got kicked off the book, and his 80s FF runs into a brick wall of how much he was allowed to change the book.

Batman The Animated Series did a lot to promote him. The Laughing Fish, The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne, Rupert Thorne, all from his run.
