Comic writers in the 60s/70s:
Been to war or did some cool shit like being an escape artist. Worked their way up from poverty on the streets of New York or a small town by submitting pieces to magazines and publishers. Churn out tons of ideas, so much that they had drawers and drawers full of inventoried comics just in case they need something last minute that still became classic characters.
Comic writers in the 80s/90s: Grew up in the club UK scene doing tons of drugs and fighting authority. Scholars in classic and modern literature and film. Published their own zines to cut their teeth. Wrote some of the most inventive and medium bending stories to expand young minds and redefine what comics were capable of.
Modern comic writers: A bunch of fat bald neckbeards with no life experience who have only ever read comic books and watched Star Wars
What happened.
