David Manak is a comic-book writer and artist who worked extensively for DC Comics, Marvel and Archie Comics, with a particular focus on all-ages titles. His extensive contributions to Marvel’s 1980s Star Comics line included Droids, Ewoks, Bullwinkle and Rocky and ALF; at Archie, he developed long associations with Sonic the Hedgehog and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

Warren Kremer (1921-2003) is an artist best remembered as creator of Hot Stuff the Little Devil and co-creator of Richie Rich, both iconic Harvey Comics characters. His long career also included contributions to Marvel’s Star Comics line on titles including Heathcliff, Planet Terry and Ewoks.

John Romita was born in 1930 and drew for Atlas Era Marvel Comics across many genres. By the time Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko were defining the look and feel of the Marvel Age of Comics during the 1960s, Romita had made the move to DC Comics, where he was working exclusively behind the boards of the company’s many romance comics. It wasn’t until 1966 that he returned to Marvel Comics and the super-hero genre, drawing Daredevil before taking over from Ditko on what was fast becoming Marvel’s most important book, Amazing Spider-Man. Romita’s slick, clean craftsmanship would be a hallmark of his tenure, and his years of drawing beautiful women in DC’s romance books paid off with iconic renderings of Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson and the other women in Peter Parker’s life.
