Steve Gerber (1947-2008) first came to attention writing Defenders,
in which he gave the non-team a non-traditional outlook equaled by
few. In Adventure of Fear, he introduced Howard the Duck. Gerber's
other 1970s contributions included scripts for Iron Man,
Sub-Mariner and more. Elsewhere, he is equally well-remembered for
DC's Phantom Zone, Eclipse's Destroyer Duck and others.
"Do you print them too?" a young Stan Lee once supposedly asked Jim
Mooney (1919-2008). Mooney's career as penciler, inker, colorist
and letterer dates back to the Golden Age - during which he drew
stories featuring super heroes and funny animals alike. In the
Silver Age, he inked John Buscema's Thor and John Romita's Amazing
Spider-Man. At DC, Mooney penciled Batman, Superboy and World's
Finest, among others.
