John Belushi would have been 72 today. He made the cover of MARVEL TEAM-UP with the rest of the SNL cast in 1978. /1
Jim Shooter: "The receptionist told me that John Belushi was on the line and wanted to speak with me. Turned out it was the real Belushi and he loooved the book! He asked me if it would be possible for him to come up to the office & see us. No problem, John." /2
"We gave Belushi the tour. He seemed more excited to meet us & see the offices than we were to meet him. He said he was a huge Marvel fan. In the editorial room we had the current covers hung up. Belushi told us the plot of each book on that wall to prove he’d read them!" /3
"Belushi had to leave too soon, but before he did he invited those of us who had worked on the Team-Up story to the opening night party for Animal House, which was coming up in a few days." /4
"I put Belushi on the comp list for everything Marvel published for life." /end
