Timeline

1935

Thompson and her late husband and fellow science fiction fan Don Thompson (October 30, 1935 – May 23, 1994) were among the instigators of what developed in the 1960s into comic book fandom.

1942

Maggie Thompson (born Margaret Curtis; November 29, 1942), is an American longtime editor of the now-defunct comic book industry news magazine Comics Buyer's Guide, science fiction fan, and collector of comics.

Margaret (nickname, "Maggie") Curtis was born November 29, 1942.

1960

Their Harbinger (a mimeographed one-sheet published in the autumn of 1960) announced the upcoming publication of Comic Art, one of the early amateur magazines devoted to all aspects of sequential art (a term not then in use).

The initial issue of Comic Art was released the following spring.

1961

Seven issues were published at irregular intervals between 1961 and 1968.

1967

As publication of Comic Art wound down, they shifted their attention to a new venture as the Thompsons started a fanzine titled Newfangles in March 1967.

Unlike other comics news fanzines of the time it was devoted to the doings of comics fandom instead of news about comic books and comic book professionals.

1969

Her mother, science fiction writer Betsy Curtis, would be nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1969 for her story "The Steiger Effect"; she carried on a long correspondence with colleagues such as Robert Heinlein and L. Ron Hubbard.

According to family tradition, Betsy claimed descent from Anne Bradstreet and at least two presidents of Yale University.

1981

Working solo, Thompson created and edited Fantasy Empire magazine for New Media in 1981 and wrote Dark Shadows: Book Two - Lost in Thought #1-4 in 1993 for Innovation Comics.

1983

Thompson began working for Krause Publications as the editor of Movie Collector's World and Comics Buyer's Guide in 1983.

1989

With her husband Don, she wrote a miscellany of articles and comic-book stories; The Official Price Guide to Science Fiction and Fantasy (1989, House of Collectibles); five years of Comics Buyer's Guide Annual (1992–1996, Krause Publications); Marvel Comics Checklist & Price Guide 1961-Present (1993, Krause Publications); and Comic-Book Superstars (1993, Krause Publications).

1992

The Motor City Comic Con awarded the Don Thompson Award from 1992 to 1998.

1994

Krause later sold the movie newspaper, but Thompson continued to edit Comics Buyer's Guide, long after her husband's death in 1994 and the transformation of the publication into a monthly magazine.

Originally known as the "Compuserve Comics and Animation Forum Award", the name was changed to the "Compuserve Comics and Animation Forum's Don Thompson Award" (or, simply, the "Thompson") after Don Thompson's death in 1994.

2013

In 2013 she began a column for San Diego Comic-Con International's Toucan blog called "Maggie's World".

Her son Stephen Thompson would go on to become an editor for The Onion and creator of The A.V. Club before moving on to NPR.

Stephen co-hosts "Pop Culture Happy Hour", a pop culture-themed podcast on which Maggie has made multiple appearances.

Under Maggie's editorial direction, Comics Buyer's Guide twice won the comics industry's Eisner Award for periodicals, among other awards.

She was a recipient of the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award and was also the first recipient of the Friends of Lulu's Women of Distinction Award.

Maggie and Don Thompson received many joint awards, including:

2015

With others, she produced the Comics Buyer's Guide Checklist & Price Guide (now in its 15th edition, Krause Publications); and the Standard Catalog of Comic Books (now in its 5th edition, Krause Publications).
