Where he becomes too annoying is a matter of opinion. I can take Halo Jones because it doesn't feel like he's demolishing someone else's stuff. I can respect some of this Swamp Thing even though he is. His Marvelman, on the other hand, is almost an argument for better protecting trademarks from unauthorized fanfiction.
A lot of his problem is that he made so much money "reinventing" existing properties that he of course didn't own the rights to, and being told meanwhile that he was a matchless genius, better than everyone else in comics. He went a bit madder than he was.
