Editing Catherine Yronwode (section)

====Early comics work====
The 1974 revival of ''Doctor Strange'' drew Yronwode back to comics. While unemployed in 1977, Yronwode created a [[magico-religious]] index to the comic called the ''Lesser Book of the Vishanti''; she later published parts of it in various small presses and it is posted on her website in updated form. Marvel writers are said to have consulted it.<ref>{{cite book |author=Douglas Wolk |title=Reading Comics: How Graphic Novels Work and What They Mean |url=https://archive.org/details/readingcomicshow00wolk/page/ |url-access=registration |quote=Lesser Book of the Vishanti. |location=Cambridge, Massachusetts |publisher=Da Capo |year=2007 |isbn=9780306815096 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/readingcomicshow00wolk/page/ n.p.] }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author1=Catherine Yronwode |author2=Nagasiva Yronwode |title=The Lesser Book of the Vishanti |url=http://www.luckymojo.com/vishanti.html |website=Lucky Mojo.com |year=2010 |access-date=August 13, 2018 }}</ref> She wrote a lengthy letter to the title in 1978, which took over nearly the entire column; Yronwode's address was printed in the column; she received large amounts of fan mail, including a [[marriage proposal]]. At this point she had separated from Paskin and was living alone in a [[log cabin]] in [[Missouri]], so she wrote back to many of the letters and would keep in touch with many of the writers.<ref name=AH141CY/> Yronwode began a career as a freelance magazine writer while also continuing to contribute to fanzines.

In 1980, Yronwode began work at [[Ken Pierce Books]], editing and writing introductions to a line of [[comic strip]] reprint books. Titles included ''[[Modesty Blaise]]'' by [[Peter O'Donnell]] and [[Jim Holdaway]], ''[[Mike Hammer (character)#Comics|Mike Hammer]]'' by [[Mickey Spillane]], and ''[[The Phantom]]'' by [[Lee Falk]].<ref name="msu-y">{{cite web|url=http://www.lib.msu.edu/comics/rri/yrri/yp.htm|title=Special Collections Division Reading Room Index to the Comic Art Collection "Yps" to "Yugoslavia"|author=Michigan State University Libraries |publisher=lib.msu.edu|access-date=2007-10-31 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070807085033/http://www.lib.msu.edu/comics/rri/yrri/yp.htm <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = August 7, 2007}}</ref>
