About the Author
Roger Stern enjoyed well-regarded runs on Amazing Spider-Man, in which he introduced Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) and the Hobgoblin; Avengers; and Captain America. He launched West Coast Avengers and wrote numerous tie-in miniseries starring Earth's Mightiest Heroes. At DC, he relaunched Atom and co-created Starman (Will Payton) before contributing to one of comics' most legendary stories: the 1992 "Death of Superman." He later returned to Marvel to write Amazing Spider-Man and related titles.
After beginning his writing career on DC horror titles, David Michelinie moved to Marvel. He and co-writer/inker Bob Layton established Iron Man's battle with alcoholism, use of specialized armor variants and vendetta against Doctor Doom, as well as other aspects of the character that endure to this day. Michelinie's unique blend of action, suspense and humor distinguished not only Iron Man, but also Amazing Spider-Man. With artist Todd McFarlane, he introduced the vicious vigilante Venom; he also wrote the first Venom limited series, Lethal Protector. Michelinie's run as Amazing writer was second in length only to that of Stan Lee himself, while he also authored tie-in titles Spectacular Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man and Spider-Man. He moved from Marvel's flagship character to DC's with a stint on Superman's Action Comics, later returning to the world of Tony Stark for writing collaborations with Bob Layton on Iron Man: Legacy of Doom and Iron Man: The End.
Dwayne McDuffie (1962-2011) proved his writing range by covering both serious subjects in Deathlok and comedy in three Damage Control miniseries. He also wrote Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) one-shots and backup stories for Avengers titles. At DC, he co-founded Milestone, co-creating Blood Syndicate, Hardware, Icon and Static — the latter of which was adapted for television in the Static Shock animated series, which won an Emm
