Peter David has publicly fought with many, many, many, many, many people over the years. He's in Harlan Ellison's league, although not having Ellison's money, I don't think he sues as much.
Yeah, David has bad-mouthed show organizers, plural. One of them ran out of cash and canceled David and several other pros who had planned to attend. I think another gave him a bad table but gave Marvel a really good table, which might be because they were Marvel frickin' Comics.
He is perpetually outraged but always entertaining.

If you don't like people disagreeing with you, I do not recommend Comicon. I disagree.

Was that one me or Allen? Allen chased away Erik Larsen. I think, if we are to pick one person for David being chased away, Ivan Jim was the 'culprit'.

I enjoyed David's run on Spectacular Spider-man with Sal Buscema who was inking his own pencils and who never looked better. At the same time, Michelinie & McFarlane were on Amazing and I thought that, for all the hype, was a bit crap. However, to be fair to McFarlane, he did his best work with David on Hulk. I gave up when the new artist came onboard.

I think I was the one who "chased" Peter away. He became quite heated when I pointed out some inaccuracies in his mass characterization of all fans, and didn't pay proper respect to his viewpoint that any way of looking at things other than his own was both moronic and offensive.

I gave up when the new artist came onboard. That would have been Jeff Purves. Indeed a low point when it came to the art (even bringing in Terry Austin & Marie Severin...& others...didn't help). However, Peter David did some really fun storytelling involving the Gray Hulk during this period &...at least for me...it more than made up for the low-grade visuals, After that Dale Keown showed up & kicked everything back into high-gear!
