Howard Chaykin’s everything. Every main character Chaykin draws is drawn the same way. Why? It’s an idealized version of him (Blackhawk, Dominic Fortune, American Flagg).

Ellis actually wrote a piece for Bad Signal about this just recently

As he points out, just because he writes about a writer, it doesn’t mean tht the person is supposed to be him…

Not comic related, but Wesley Crusher from “Sta Trek: TNG” was very much a Mary Sue of Gene Roddenberry. Wes’ name was even taken from Gene’s middle name.

I think Doug Ramsey in New Mutants was one of Claremont’s many Mary-Sues. I always thought it was telling that when his longtime editor Louise Simonson took over the book, the first think she did was kill him off.

I think Fell is becoming more and more of a Mary Sue.
