I'm fuzzy on the timeline, so I don't know if this was Shooter himself. It may have been just before his tenure, or something from the "money men."

But Marvel had Spider-Woman and Ms. Marvel series that were cancelled in the early 1980's, and the next major solo female series they published was She-Hulk, I think when DeFalco was editor-in-chief.

Shooter's era did have the female-majority New Mutants, and women leading both the Avengers and X-Men. And one of Shooter's New Universe titles was Spitfire and the Troubleshooters. He didn't seem averse to strong female characters himself. It's just weird that they didn't have female-led books like they have now. (DC wasn't much better, though.)

Also Tomb of Dracula got cancelled, but that was probably because Len Wein took Marv Wolfman over to DC to do a Teen Titans revival. I think the other horror books (Ghost Rider, Werewolf by Night) just faded out as the fad passed.

So I don't know how much was Shooter, it may have just coincided with his tenure.

I do appreciate his insistence that every issue could be somebody's first, so writers had to exposit a lot. That made a lot of sense in the newsstand, pre-trade-paperback, era.

I thought the horror books fell prey to adjustments to the comics code?
