we have a very special guest with us we have

mr. Peter Sanderson with us hello sir hello.

hello. For those who might not be familiar with your work and your role in Marvel

in the past can you give a quick bio of yourself and an introduction to your place

in this giant tapestry we call Marvel?

Well, my place in the giant tapestry we call Marvel has actually been to keep track of the giant tapestry that is called Marvel.

I grew up reading Marvel Comics in the silver age and in the Silver Age and in the late 70s I came to move to New York City. I

started meeting people for first person.

Marvel Proze I met with Chris Klamat and his first wife who were impressed with the letters

I was writing to the X-Men and from there I got to meet other people including the late

Mark Grunwald who broughtwald, who knowing my interest in comics history, brought me on

board to work on the official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.

And I worked on all the different versions of that through the 80s and at one point in the 80s I was an assistant editor on books like X-Men and Star Wars and I eventually became the first Marvel archivist.

For all I know, the only Marvel weapons.

But I was in the library room and I was in charge of the books and in keeping track of continuity.

And eventually, by the 90s, I was starting

to write books about Marvel.
