Captain America Omnibus Vol. 3 (New Printing)

Steve Englehart

Steve Englehart’s career began with the Beast’s solo feature in Amazing Adventures, where the eloquent X-Man first assumed his furry form. As the writer for The Avengers, he masterminded major events like “The Avengers/Defenders War” and “The Celestial Madonna Saga.” In Captain America, he solved the “mystery” of the 1950s Captain America and gave the original Cap the alternate identity of Nomad. Englehart’s Dr. Strange storyline in Marvel Premiere established the character as Sorcerer Supreme and encompassed the creation of the universe.

At DC Comics, he contributed to the revamp of Batman, Green Lantern, Superman, and other major heroes for the 1970s. Returning to Marvel, he wrote the initial years of West Coast Avengers and Silver Surfer. His published novels include Countdown to Flight, Hellstorm (part of the TALON Force series), Majorca, and The Point Man. With his wife, Terry Beach, he co-authored books in the DNAgers young-adult series. Englehart has also written for television and designed video games.

Gerry Conway

Gerry Conway’s writing credits include Daredevil, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, and others. He was instrumental in Marvel’s 1970s horror boom with his work on Man-Thing, Tomb of Dracula, and Werewolf by Night. His tenure on Amazing Spider-Man yielded historic highlights such as the groundbreaking death of Gwen Stacy and the debut of the Punisher. He also wrote for DC Comics on Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Legion of Super-Heroes. For television, he has written and produced episodes of Diagnosis: Murder, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Huntress, and Matlock.

Steve Gerber (1947-2008)

Steve Gerber first gained attention writing Defenders, where he infused the non-team with a non-traditional outlook. In Adventure into Fear, he introduced Howard the Duck. Gerber’s other 1970s contributions included scripts for Iron Man, Sub-Mariner, and more. He is also well-remembered for his work at DC Comics on Phantom Zone, and at Eclipse Comics on Destroyer Duck and others.

Sal Buscema

After starting as an inker for his older brother John, Sal Buscema went on to pencil Captain America, Defenders, Incredible Hulk, and more. Famed for his ability to meet tight deadlines, he contributed to a variety of 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 over one hundred issues and penciled the web-slinger’s adventures in Marvel Team-Up, where 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 his brother John on Steve Englehart’s Fantastic Four. He later provided inks for Tom DeFalco’s Spider-Girl titles and the Thunderstrike miniseries.

Frank Robbins (1917-1994)

After over three decades of writing and drawing the Johnny Hazard comic strip, which he created in 1944, Frank Robbins co-created Invaders with Roy Thomas, marking Marvel’s first major revival of Golden Age superheroes. His distinctive art style subsequently graced Captain America, Ghost Rider, and the licensed properties Human Fly and Man from Atlantis. Following a stint as writer on DC Comics’ Superman’s Girl Friend, Lois Lane, he collaborated with artists Neal Adams and Irv Novick on runs of Batman and Detective Comics, respectively. His work is credited as instrumental in returning the Darknight Detective to his gothic/noir roots.

John Romita

Born in 1930, John Romita 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 in the 1960s, Romita had moved to DC Comics, where he worked exclusively on the company’s romance comics. He returned to Marvel Comics and the superhero genre in 1966, drawing Daredevil before taking over from Ditko on Amazing Spider-Man. Romita’s slick, clean craftsmanship became a hallmark of his tenure. His years drawing women in DC’s romance books proved invaluable with iconic renderings of Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, and the other women in Peter Parker’s life.
