Marv Wolfman
Marv Wolfman
An award-winning writer since 1973, Marv Wolfman succeeded mentor Roy Thomas as Marvel’s editor in chief. He is well-remembered for his Tomb of Dracula scripts and also enjoyed runs on Dr. Strange, Fantastic Four, and Nova, among other titles. His 1980s collaboration with George Perez, New Teen Titans, became DC Comics’ biggest hit in years. Wolfman and Perez literally rewrote DC history with Crisis on Infinite Earths. He subsequently penned episodes for such animated TV series as G.I. Joe and Transformers.
Chris Claremont
Industry legend Chris Claremont is best known for his epic sixteen-year run on Uncanny X-Men. Claremont’s focus on the themes of prejudice and tolerance struck at the hearts of comics fans, and he built an unparalleled following during the next three decades. Under his pen, the X-Men franchise spawned a vast array of spin-offs, many of them written by Claremont himself. His other credits include Iron Fist, Ms. Marvel, Power Man, and Spider-Woman. Claremont has returned to the X-Men universe in New Exiles, GeNext, X-Men Forever, Chaos War: X-Men, and Nightcrawler.
Gene Colan (1926-2011)
Gene Colan’s unique, shadowy style most memorably appeared in long stints on Captain America and Daredevil, and all 70 issues of Tomb of Dracula—among the dozens of other Marvel titles he has drawn. His DC work on Detective Comics and Night Force is equally well remembered. During the Golden Age, he drew multiple war stories for Marvel and DC alike. Colan earned several Eagle Awards and had professional art showings in New York City. His work on Ed Brubaker’s Captain America at the age of 82 drew well-deserved raves.
