Gerry Conway

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

Len Wein

After co-creating DC’s Swamp Thing in 1972, Len Wein moved to Marvel for lengthy runs on some of the company’s biggest titles: Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, and Thor. He helped bring the landmark Giant-Size X-Men #1 into the world, changing Marvel forever. Returning to DC as an editor, Wein oversaw an influx of British writing talent, highlighted by Alan Moore’s historic Watchmen miniseries. Wein also has worked in television and animation, returning to his roots to develop a Swamp Thing screenplay. He has written comic-book adaptations of The Simpsons and Futurama.

John Buscema (1927-2002)

John Buscema literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist: 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.

Walter Simonson

After achieving industry acclaim for DC’s award-winning “Manhunter” feature in Detective Comics, Walter Simonson moved to Marvel where he introduced multiple characters and concepts from both myth and outer space during his revered run scripting and penciling Thor. He collaborated with his wife, Louise, on both X-Factor and Wildstorm’s World of Warcraft, later returning to Marvel to illustrate Brian Michael Bendis’ Avengers.
