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.
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 - and
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.
In 1976, Ross Andru (1927-1993) made comic-book history by
penciling the first large-scale intercompany crossover, Superman
vs. the Amazing Spider-Man, having spent years illustrating both
characters in various titles. He also made Marvel history in Marvel
Feature, drawing the Defenders' first appearance. At DC, he spent
nine years collaborating with Bob Kanigher on Wonder Woman. With
Marv Wolfman and Mike Esposito, he co-created Vigilante (Adrian
Chase).
The career of the late Gil Kane began in comicdom's Golden Age.
Following his role in ushering in the Silver Age of Comics via the
re-creations of Green Lantern, the Atom and others, he became
Marvel's star cover artist and the regular penciler on Amazing
Spider-Man. Kane also helped develop Iron Fist, Morbius the Living
Vampire and other Marvel mainstays. In 1971, he published the
sword-and-sorcery/science-fiction hybrid Blackmark, often called
the first American graphic novel. He was a multiple winner of the
National Cartoonist Society Award; in 1997, he was inducted into
both the Eisner Award Hall of Fame and the Harvey Award Jack Kirby
Hall of Fame.
