Talk:Chuck Dixon

Dr Light?
In the Marvel section there is a listing for Dr. Light. Since a character of this name has been in use by DC for many years it seems unlikely there was ever a Marvel comic with this name, and the only solo Dr. Light story I can find in DC (in Showcase '96 #8) was written by someone else.

-- Reply to above: This is erroneous information. There was no comicbook called Dr Light published by Marvel comics. Sadly, the official dixon site even picked up the snafu, beleived it to be true, and lists this non-existant comic. The listing for Dr Light should be deleted.

Dixon's statements on the issue of homosexuality should be discussed on his wiki. He claims not to be homophobic, but his statements that comics are for kids and should not have complicex social issues such as homosexuality goes against his own previous body of work which did bring up complex real-life issues from time to time.


 * I agree. A specific (and very recent) example is the Grifter/Midnighter 6-issue miniseries published earlier this year, written by Dixon. The book is clearly not for "kids", if the criteria for kid material means a series has no homosexuality, no complex social issues, etc. I mean, how could you really write a "kid's book" involving the Authority (And specifically a gay member/the most violent member)? When did Dixon ever say that comic books should be for kids? I'd like to see the source on that. Also, don't forget to sign your posts. Zebraic 07:12, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Too Coloquial
Anyone feel as if the main article is too coloquial. Also, what's up with the capitalisations? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.60.173 (talk) 17:52, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Political controversy
WP:BLP won't allow that section to stand for long - it needs sourcing or removing. (Emperor (talk) 17:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC))


 * All claims have now been given appropriate citations, including the mentioned post by Dixon himself. --CmdrClow (talk) 03:44, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I removed, "In the first page of Huntress #1, he also cited labor unions as "maybe" an example of organized crime, comparable to dope, prostitution, and gambling."

That issue came out way back in 1994 and there was NOOOOOOOOOOOOO controversy. And Dixon did not suggest that labor unions were part of organized crime. Huntress narrates on the first page, "Most people think of organized crime and they think of dope. Or gambling. Or prostitution. Or maybe unions. Daffodils don't normally come to mind."

The unions were no more upset over this quote that the casinos where. Some editor's just trying to create a controversy were one never existed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.89.143.78 (talk) 15:46, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I've removed the 'controversy' section of this article, as it was poorly sourced (see WP:BLP) and in any case pretty trivial. Unless anyone can demonstrate that his political opinions are significant or have caused some notable controversy, they don't belong in the article. Robofish (talk) 00:44, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Alt-White
No treatment on his recent collaborations with Vox Day, such as his book where President Trump is a superhero defeating aliens with a Space Force, or his Alt-Hero Q, about a shadowy group of anonymous bureaucrats are methodically tanking and spoiling each of President Trump's actions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.32.137.98 (talk) 00:45, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that this looks like a major oversight. Reliable sources are required, that cover this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.97.170.112 (talk) 10:02, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
