I can't post a link because he always answers privately his messages, but what he told me was the following:

"I think the generally accepted version these days is that S.H.I.E.L.D. came into being after WWII and in the beginnings of the cold war. A couple of stories don’t quite fit - that early FF adventure with CIA Fury - but they do with tweaks. For instance, if you take S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Tony Stark to be Howard Stark (or maybe even Howard Stark Snr) it works fine.

''The Marvel timeline slides to benefit the readers - it means you don’t have to ask why Spidey isn’t an old man - so if it’s doing more harm than good, throw it in the bin. But then, that’s my answer to all continuity. I love it, but only as long as it’s working for us rather than against us.''"
