Steve Englehart's history-making contributions to the Marvel
Universe began with the Beast's solo feature in Amazing Adventures,
in which the eloquent X-Man first assumed furry form. As Avengers
writer, he masterminded such major events as "The
Avengers/Defenders War" (in both teams' titles) and "The Celestial
Madonna Saga." In Captain America, he identified and solved the
"mystery" of the 1950s Captain America (later revived by Ed
Brubaker), and gave the true Cap the alternate identity of Nomad.
Englehart's Dr. Strange storyline in Marvel Premiere established
the character as Sorcerer Supreme and covered the creation of the
universe itself. At DC, he helped revamp Batman, Green Lantern,
Superman and other major heroes for the 1970s. Back at Marvel, he
wrote the first few years of West Coast Avengers and Silver Surfer.
His published novels include Countdown to Flight, Hellstorm (part
of the TALON Force series), Majorca, The Point Man and, with wife
Terry Beach, books in the DNAgers young-adult series. Englehart has
also written TV episodes and designed video games.
After a Justice League of America stint at DC, Mike Friedrich moved
to Marvel and to Iron Man, where, with Jim Starlin, he brought
Thanos and Drax the Destroyer into the Marvel Universe. He and
Starlin continued Thanos' cosmic saga in Captain Marvel. Friedrich
also wrote Captain America and various features for Marvel's
anthology titles. Back at DC, he wrote regularly for Batman, Green
Lantern, Flash, and others.
After a start as inker to his older brother John, Sal Buscema
penciled Captain America, Defenders, Incredible Hulk and more.
Famed for his ability to meet tight deadlines, he spread his
talents across multiple genres. His 1970s work ranged from Ms.
Marvel and Nova to Sub-Mariner and Spider-Woman's first appearance
in Marvel Spotlight. He was the uninterrupted artist on Spectacular
Spider-Man for more than 100 issues and penciled the web-slinger's
adventures in Marvel Team-Up, in which he and writer Bill Mantlo
introduced Captain Jean DeWolff. After handling more team-ups in
the Thing's Marvel Two-in-One, he reunited with brother John on
Steve Englehart's Fantastic Four. He later provided inks for Tom
DeFalco's Spider-Girl titles and Thunderstrike miniseries.
Alan Weiss was a popular contributor to Avengers and Captain Marvel
throughout the 1970s and 1980s. More recently, he rendered a tale
of a Civil War-era Batman in Batman- The Blue, the Grey and the
Bat.
