With all those questions about blacklisting Chuck DIxon, I'd like to ask: is there EVEN a Marvel blacklist for creators? I think fans tend to fantasize about internal office politics at comic book companies being much more dramatic than they ever were.

No, there is no Marvel blacklist.

But there are certainly creators who, for one reason or another, nobody is in a particular rush to hire.

Sounds like the same thing, but it isn’t. In a blacklist, nobody could hire a creator even if they wanted to. In the latter, nobody in a position to hire a creator chooses to do so. Different thing entirely—and one whose resolution is much more in the hands of the creator in question.
