Iconic artist and present day co-publisher at DC Comics Jim Lee took to Twitter earlier this morning to share a few of his past rejections. In recent days the hashtag "shareyourrejection" has been something of a trend on twitter, and the comic book legend posted four of his from 1986. He eventually got hired at Marvel in 1987 and the rest is comic book history.

Jim Lee has since become a force is the comics industry. Many consider his Batman and Superman to be the definitive look for the iconic characters. Lee also was part of a group of creators who shook up the comics world in the early 90s, breaking away from the Big 2 and forming Image Comics. In doing so paving the way for indie creators and giving them an outlet for their books while retaining the rights to their characters.






There certainly is a lesson to all up and coming creators in the industry. Even the Legends started out as unknowns, but a perserverance and dedication to your craft might lead you to the very top.
