I recall from a book or another source that Marvel Comics was in rather bad shape in the late 1970s because of poor management and missed deadlines until Jim Shooter became Editor-in-Chief. Let us assuming that Jim Shooter worked elsewhere in the late seventies and the revolving door of E-i-Cs at Marvel continues. Would its parent company, Cadence Industries, pull the plug some time 1979, and how would that affect the industry? I imagine that DC Comics might have less incentive to release Crisis on Infinite Earths.
