\nAre you getting excited for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie? Stoked or curious to see Rocket Raccoon, the most unlikely of Marvel’s cosmic superheroes on the big screen? Then you might want to throw some love to Bill Mantlo<\/a>, Rocket Raccoon’s creator.\n<\/p>\n

\nBill Mantlo was one of Marvel’s more prolific writers in the late seventies and eighties, being their go-to guy when it came to adopting existing properties into the Marvel Universe e.g turning Rom from a crap plastic toy robot into one of the more fondly remembered cult Marvel eighties titles. He also had a lengthy run on the Hulk, together with Sal Buscema (amongst others) during which he had the Hulk visit a strange alien world filled with strange furry creatures, including a certain Raccoon.\n<\/p>\n

\nMantlo left comics in the late eighties to become a lawyer, but unfortunately in 1992 suffered from a hit and run accident<\/a> that left him crippled. Because America is barely a civilised country, the vast majority of medical costs that caused this he has had to pay himself, so any donation to help with those is welcome<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
