That might be, but he was in the biz for at least a little while in the 
mid-80s, when Marvel comics released a few comics in the QuestProbe series,
the gimmick being that there were cheap CGA graphics games released at
the same time which went along with the comics. There were games done
for at least the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and Spiderman. I remember thinking,
though, that they were subpar even for the time period.
