Writer/editor Stan Lee (1922-2018) made comic-book history together
with Jack Kirby in 1961 with Fantastic Four #1. The monumental
popularity of its new style inspired Lee to develop similarly
themed characters - including the Hulk and X-Men with Kirby,
Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with
Bill Everett. After shepherding his creations through dozens of
issues - in some cases a hundred or more - Lee allowed other
writers to take over, but he maintained steady editorial control.
Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into a multimedia empire. In
recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in Marvel's films
established Lee as one of the world's most famous faces.
Roy Thomas joined the Marvel Bullpen as a writer and editor under
Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every title of the time-
Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange,
Sub-Mariner, Thor, X-Men and more. He wrote the first 10 years of
Marvel's Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and
launched such series as Defenders, Iron Fist, Invaders and Warlock.
At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related
titles, proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice
Society of America. Thomas later became editor of Alter Ego, a
magazine devoted to comic-book history, and co-scripted the
sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer.
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.
Don Heck (1929-1995) worked for Harvey, Quality, Hillman and other
publishers before arriving at Atlas Comics, later Marvel, where he
penciled and inked stories for virtually every genre- crime,
horror, jungle, romance, war, Western and more. With Stan Lee and
others, he launched Iron Man, his supporting cast and his early
rogues gallery - including the Black Widow, Hawkeye and the
Mandarin. He also succeeded Jack Kirby on Avengers. At DC, his
artwork appeared in Justice League of America, Flash, Wonder Woman
and other titles.
John Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a Marvel
artist - namely, How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way - and few were
better qualified. His career dated back to the Timely/Atlas era of
the late '40s and early '50s. Soon after beginning the Marvel Age
of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema from the advertising field to
the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run on Avengers with
the long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently
succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By
the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly
every Marvel title - including his personal favorite, Conan the
Barbarian.
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 one hundred 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.
