*Notes & Corrections*
-I have simplified enormously to try and fit 30 years in under 20 minutes. I have tried to keep everything truthful, reliably sourced, and respectful to everyone involved. But, given the scope I’m sure I have made some mistakes, so please let me know in the comments and I will include them here.
-I misheard McFarlane’s quote about Liefeld, sourced from The Comics Journal interview, but I believe it has the same meaning.
*Sources and Further Viewing*

Very interesting video about the full story behind *that* Captain America Picture:
https://youtu.be/PjVrbeUvqP0
(This channel also has a video about Liefeld, but I don’t watch other creators’ videos on projects I’m working on, so hopefully it’s not the same as mine!)
Many of the facts were sourced from Liefeld’s very good podcast Robservations. Please check it out. Where possible I tried to fact-check from non-Liefeld sources as well.
