Tom DeFalco (b. June 26 1950) is an American comics writer and editor, well-known for his association with Marvel Comics and Spider-Man.

Biography

DeFalco was born in Queens, New York City, New York, where his family owned a supermarket. His introduction to comic books came when, aged five, an older cousin read an issue of "Batman" to him.

Early career

While in college, DeFalco "wrote for a few local newspapers, a weekly comic strip and did a few short stories," and after graduation "got in touch with the various comic book companies", which led to him beginning his comics career as an editorial assistant with Archie Comics in summer 1972. [ [http://www.geocities.com/the_gzone/tomd.html The Spider's Web Exclusive: Interview with Tom DeFalco] . Accessed March 21, 2008] During his tenure with Archie Comics, he "initiated and developed the Archie Comics Digest Series, which is still being produced today and remains the company’s most profitable publishing series". Learning fast, DeFalco was soon writing for the flagship title "Archie" as well as for other titles including "Scooby-Doo" and "Josie and the Pussycats". [http://www.moonstonebooks.com/interviewTomD.asp Lori G of "Moonstone Books" interview with Tom DeFalco] . Accessed March 21, 2008]

He later joined Marvel Comics, with whom he would spend the next twenty years of his career. One of his earliest non-Archie credits was as writer, however, was with the "Distinguished Competition," on the final (8th) issue of DC's aborted "Swords and Science" title "Starfire" (Oct 1977) and a back-up Cain story in "House of Mystery" before moving to Marvel, where he wrote a couple of issues of "The Avengers" and the final five issues of "Machine Man" (plus a Machine Man issue of "Marvel Team-Up", before launching "Dazzler" in March 1981. (DeFalco later wrote a Machine Man limited series in 1984, with art by Herb Trimpe and Barry Windsor-Smith).

DeFalco was the chief designer and author for "Dazzler", and later became one of the most popular writers for the "Spider-Man" comic book series while at the same time rising through the editorial ranks. While writing "Dazzler", he penned a couple of issues of "Marvel Team-Up", before taking over from Dennis O'Neil as editor of that title, as well as assuming editorial duties on "Ghost Rider", "What If...?" and the Spider-Man titles, which he edited throughout the early 1980s.

GI Joe and Hasbro

DeFalco worked closely with toy manufacturer Hasbro in the early 1980s, heading the creative team that "produced the backstory and dossiers that served as the basis for the of the phenomenally successful GI Joe toy line and ," in 1985. As part of this relaunch, Marvel produced a comic entitled "" in June 1982. DeFalco personally edited the first six issues (handing over to Denny O'Neil in January 1983), as well as assorted issues of G.I. Joe series' throughout the 1980s. The core - "Real American Hero" - series would run for 155 issues over the next 12 years.

DeFalco was also "part of the creative team that introduced the Transformers to the American public" in 1984.

pider-Man and Star Wars

In August 1983, DeFalco wrote the first four issues of the third series of "Red Sonja" (after an aborted second series of just two issues earlier in the year written by Roy Thomas) and after shedding his Spider-Man editorial duties (largely to Danny Fingeroth) he took over from Roger Stern as writer of "The Amazing Spider-Man". The two collaberated on April-May's #251-2 (the "Secret Wars" crossover issues), before DeFalco took over fully with #253, for a two year run, chiefly in collaboration with artist Ron Frenz. Concurrent with editing Jim Shooter's "Secret Wars", DeFalco was introducing Spider-Man's "black costume" in the pages of "Amazing".

DeFalco and Frenz were both removed from "Amazing Spider-Man" by then Spider-editor Jim Owsley, under the orders of Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter. Issue #285 (Feb 1987) was their final issue, after which Owsley assumed writing duties. While writing "Amazing", DeFalco continued editing various comics, including several of Marvel's "Star Wars" titles.

Editor-in-Chief

After co-writing two issues of "Fantastic Four" (#301-2; April-May 1987) with Roger Stern (DeFalco would return to writing the title between 1991 and 1996), DeFalco took over writing duties on "Thor" from Walt Simonson with #383 in September, before succeeding Jim Shooter as Editor-in-Chief effective from comics cover-dated November 1987. He served from 1987 to 1994, making him one of the longest serving individuals to hold that post. The only Editors-in-Chief with longer service than him were Stan Lee (1941–1942, 1944–1972) and Shooter (1978–1987).

In an interview with "The Comic Book Gazette", DeFalco described his experiences as Editor-in-Chief as being::"A lot like those old Bullpen Bulletins comic strips, but with significantly more yelling!" [ [http://www.freewebs.com/marvelgazette/interviews.htm#107811209%20Marvel%20Gazette%20Interview Tom DeFalco Interview, March 26, 2003] . Accessed March 21, 2008]

Actions as Editor-in-Chief

As with several others who held the post, DeFalco became one of the public faces identified with a number of controversial decisions taken by Marvel in the period, and he is sometimes held responsible for them in fan circles. He was a key member of the management team that took Marvel public, and under his leadership, Marvel's net profits from publishing rose by over 500%. Under DeFalco's guidance, Marvel entered a phase of expansion that provided an opportunity for an army of "new talent" to enter the comic book industry, and released a number of new titles with original characters. After clashing with the company's upper management, DeFalco was fired in 1994. During the year following his departure, Marvel decided to distribute its own comics and sales on most of Marvel's core titles sagged. At the same time, the company's finances entered a crisis point amidst accusations that owner Ronald Perelman had strip-mined the company for his own gain. Initially the position of overall Editor-in-Chief was scrapped in favour of breaking the line into five sub-sections with their own group editors. In late 1995, the post was restored and filled by Bob Harras.

During his tenure as Editor-in-Chief, DeFalco had continued to write as well, with noted runs on "Thor" (where he created the New Warriors with artist Ron Frenz) and the spin-off "Thunderstrike", as well as "Fantastic Four".

Return to Spider-Man

His dismissal from the position of Editor-in-Chief coincided with a run on "The Spectacular Spider-Man" (#215-229 Aug 1994 - Oct 1995), after which he returned to "The Amazing Spider-Man" in January 1996 for a couple of years (#407-439). During this time he helped co-write the controversial and much maligned Spider-Clone Saga which revealed (temporarily, at least) that Peter Parker was a clone of the original that had been active since 1975. Peter would be replaced by the original Spider-Man under the alias "Ben Reilly". However, following several changes of creators and fan reaction, this was soon reversed.

Other

DeFalco is also the author of over a dozen graphic novels, several hundred comic book stories, several dozen cyber-comics, three novels and six children's books, including the best-selling Dorling Kindersley guides to Marvel comics characters. These include: "Spider-Man: The Ultimate Guide", "Avengers: The Ultimate Guide", "Fantastic Four: The Ultimate Guide" and "Hulk: The Incredible Guide". For Titan Books he has compiled three volumes in their "Comic Creators On..." series of essays and thoughts on Marvel characters (Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, between 2004 and 2006).

DeFalco has personally created and developed over three dozen characters that have all been licensed for television, toys, t-shirts, posters, trading cards and other merchandise, and has written "Khan" for Moonstone Books. DeFalco also created Spider-Girl, who currently has an ongoing monthly series which only sells satisfactory in the "direct market", but does well in the collected digest format.

In August 2008, DeFalco will once again return to the character of Spider-Man in a new comic strip for Amazing Spider-Man Family, Mr. and Mrs. Spider-Man, which will serve as the definitive continuity of the MC2 Spider-Man universe

Bob Layton is an American comic book artist, who has worked for Marvel Comics, Valiant Comics, DC Comics, Future Comics, amongst other smaller publications.

Biography

Bob Layton, was born on September 25, 1953, and learned to read comics from the age of four, explaining that his "older sister Sue became bored with reading the same comic to me about fifty times. (It was a Showcase issue featuring The Challengers of the Unknown.)" [http://www.comicsbulletin.com/meth/113839218246028.htm "Bob Layton: Man & Iron Man" by Clifford Meth for "Comics Bulletin"] . Accessed March 31, 2008] After leaving high school, he began "playing comics dealer... selling them out of his apartment in Indianapolis," [http://twomorrows.com/comicbookartist/articles/12stern.html "Writer Roger Stern on the CPL/Gang-Charlton Connection" Interview by Jon B. Cooke for "Comic Book Artist" #12 (Twomorrows)] . Accessed March 31, 2008] through which (in 1973) he met Roger Stern, while the latter was working for a radio station in Indianapolis. Ultimately, the two began publishing a fanzine called "CPL" (Contemporary Pictorial Literature) out of Layton's apartment. [http://www.jazmaonline.com/interviews/interviews2.asp?intID=334 Bob Layton interviewed by Richard Vasseur for Jazma Online, May 30, 2006] . Accessed March 31, 2008]

CPL

Stern recalls that::"CPL started out as Bob's sale catalog. Bob was drawing the covers and including little reviews written by some of his customers. By issue #5, it turned into a small 'zine with a catalog insert, and I started writing short articles for it. I eventually became an editor of sorts."CPL rapidly became a popular fan publication, and led to the two forming an alliance with Charlton Comics to produce and publish "the now-famous "Charlton Bullseye" magazine." During the mid-1970s, both Marvel and DC were publishing in-house "fan" publications ("F.O.O.M." and "The Amazing World of DC Comics" respecitively), and Charlton wished to make inroads into the superhero market, as well as "establish a fan presence", leading to the alliance with CPL to produce the "Charlton Bullseye". This led to Charlton giving Layton and Stern "access to unpublished material from their vaults by the likes of Steve Ditko, Jeff Jones and a host of others." This association with Charlton (and Bill Pearson, production manager) in turn led to Layton becoming acquainted with the legendary Wally Wood, with whom he apprenticed. This apprenticeship led to work for Charlton (on anthology titles, but not working from the Charlton offices), Marvel and DC, while still publishing fanzines.

Early comics work

Marvel

Part of Layton's role as Wally Wood's apprentice included him occasionally delivering artwork to "NYC from Connecticut." Layton recalls that:Layton's reaction was one of panic, and his search for help to meet the deadline led him to Dick Giordano and Neal Adams' Continuity Associates where his "fledgling contemporaries," the Crusty Bunkers ("Terry Austin, Bob Wiacek, Joe Rubinstein, Bob McLeod, Joe Brosowski, Carl Potts and a host of others") were able to lend a hand and help him finish the book.A month later, Layton received a package containing "an entire issue of pencils on the "Champions", and discovered that he was "the new regular inker on the book." He worked for Marvel "for about a year, then signed an exclusive one-year contract with DC--after they made me 'an offer I couldn't refuse'." [http://www.jazmaonline.com/interviews/interviews2.asp?intID=334 Bob Layton interviewed by Richard Vasseur for Jazma Online, May 30, 2006] . Accessed March 31, 2008]

DC

Layton began work for DC in Spring/Summer 1977, taking up regular inking duties on "All Star Comics", as well as inking multiple issues of"Secret Society of Super-Villains", "DC Super Stars" and "DC Special", among others. [ [http://www.comicbookdb.com/creator_chron.php?ID=1067 ComicBookDb: Bob Layton Sr.] . Accessed March 31, 2008] In Nov/Dec 1977, he inked the first issue of David Michelinie's "Star Hunters", and after a number of other shorter inking jobs, moved back to Marvel in late 1978, to ultimately take up one of his best remembered roles.

Marvel Comics

In 1978, Layton reunited with "Star Hunters" writer David Michelinie, to co-write a re-imagined Iron Man. The two would become regular writing and creative partners, and began their collaboration on "Iron Man" with November, 1978's issue #116, taking over the writing from Bill Mantlo. [ [http://www.comicbookdb.com/issue.php?ID=19647 ComicBookDb: "Iron Man" #116] . Accessed March 31, 2008] The two would create some of the best loved Iron Man/Tony Stark stories and transform the title from a low-end book into one of Marvel’s all-time best sellers, staying with the title until #154 (Michelinie wrote a couple more issues without Layton), and then returning for a second lengthy run from February 1987's issue #215 to #250 (Dec 1989).

Layton continued to ink and work on covers for titles such as "The Incredible Hulk", "Captain America", "Power Man and Iron Fist", and, later, "Micronauts" (among others), but "Iron Man" was his primary concern. In September 1982, however, he launched one of the earliest miniseries ever, writing, penciling and inking the four-issue "Hercules: Prince of Power". Its success spawned a four-issue sequel in 1984, also written, drawn and inked fully by him, and a 1988 graphic novel (#37 in the "Marvel Graphic Novel" series) - "Full Circle". Around this time, he also designed the highly successful "Marvel Secret Wars" toy line for Mattel, which deal formed the impetus behind the 1984 "Secret Wars" event.

Layton continued to work on various issues of a number of titles, before, in February 1986, reviving the original X-Men characters in the series "X-Factor", which he wrote and co-inked (first issue only), with artwork by Jackson Guice. Layton wrote the first five issues, before handing over the series to Louise Simonson, who would make it her own. After Michelinie and Layton finished their second "Iron Man" run with issue #250, Layton returned to the title briefly to write, pencil and ink #254, and then to write #256 (as a stop-gap before Byrne and John Romita Jr. took over with #258) in May 1990 before leaving Marvel. A year later, he returned to the comics industry to ink Jim Shooter's "Magnus, Robot Fighter" #1, from Valiant Comics.

Valiant Comics

Bob Layton was one of the chief architects of the Valiant Universe, along with Jim Shooter, Barry Windsor-Smith, Steve Massarsky, Jon Hartz. He co-created a number of the core characters including X-O Manowar, and later became Editor-in-Chief and Senior Vice President, during which time he controlled the company during its most profitable period.

His first Valiant work appeared in "Magnus, Robot Fighter" #1 (May, 1991), in which he inked Art Nichols artwork from Jim Shooter's script. He would continue with "Magnus" for five issues (and produce covers to issue #9), while also inking the inaugural issues of "Solar, Man of the Atom", which he also edited. In February, 1992, he co-created (with Shooter and Steve Englehart) and penciled the first issue of "X-O Manowar", (after which he handed over the core art duties to Sal Velluto, but provided inks for #2). The following month he drew the cover to David Michelinie's "Rai"

In August, 1992, he co-wrote, edited and inked "Archer & Armstrong" #1, edited and provided pencilwork on "Eternal Warrior" #1, and inked Barry Windsor-Smith on "Unity" #0. Starting in November, 1992, he co-edited with Dark Horse publisher Mike Richardson the Predator/Magnus, Robot Fighter two-issue crossover, and in December was again inking (and editing) a Michelinie-written comic: "H.A.R.D. Corps". Layton also edited "Turok, Dinosaur Hunter", "Deathmate" and "Secret Weapons" before (in November, 1993) writing the first of thirteen issues of "The Second Life of Doctor Mirage". He was also editing a vast array of titles during this time, for which he won the Editor of the Year award (1993), as voted by the readers of the then-new comics magazine, "Wizard".

His workload decreased greatly towards the end of 1994, in large part due to the sale of Valiant (Voyager Communications, Inc.) to video game giant Acclaim Entertainment for $65,000,000.00 USD, a deal in which Layton played an instrumental part. His story concepts and design work on "Turok, Dinosaur Hunter" was also utilized to great effect by Acclaim when the video game became the largest selling title in Acclaim’s history, with over 1.5 million units sold. He continued to work editorially, however, largely for the new Acclaim imprint Armada Comics, for which he edited a number of comics during 1995-6. He also edited Bob Hall's four-issue "Armed & Dangerous" (Apr-Jul 1996), and returned to "X-O Manowar" for which he wrote the final three issues.

After a several-year association with Valiant/Acclaim, Layton moved to Florida for a short retirement. (Although he found time to write the first eleven (of twelve) issues of Acclaim's "Doctor Tomorrow" between 1997 and 1998, also inking a couple of issues, notably #6 which was drawn by Dick Giordano, who also resided in Florida and was something of a mentor to Layton.)

Return to DC and Marvel

In 1998, he returned to DC, re-teaming briefly with penciler Sal ("X-O Manowar") Velluto on a story in September 1998's "The New Gods Secret Files and Origins", before collabotaring with his fellow Floridian and artistic friend/mentor Dick Giordano on several projects. The two-issue prestige format Elseworlds tale "Batman: Dark Knight of the Round Table" was co-drawn and co-inked by the both of them, from a script by Layton and debuted a month after their six-issue mini-series "The L.A.W. (Living Assault Weapons)", which ran from September 1999 to February 2000, with script and inks by Layton, and full pencils by Giordano. The two also wrote a second Batman Elseworlds tale, "Batman: Hollywood Knight" a three-issue mini-series which told the story of a Serials-actor who became convinced he was The Batman. It was written by Layton with pencils and inks by Giordano.

Between Elseworlds, Layton worked with Marvel Comics on an Iron Man reunion, which saw him produce the four-part limited series "Iron Man: Bad Blood" with his long-term Iron Man collaborator David Michelinie. The comic ran from September to December, 2000, with art by Layton and, as previously, the plot was a joint effort, and the final script by Michelinie. Layton then stayed at Marvel for a short time, teaming up with Dan Jurgens as inker on "Captain America" (#38-50), as well as inking a short run on "The Avengers" (#44-47). He also inked the Dan Jurgens-drawn "The Power Company: Manhunter" and part of "Just Imagine Stan Lee... Secret Files and Origins" for DC in March 2002.

Future Comics

Launched in December, 2000, after Layton felt somewhat disillusioned during his most recent stay at Marvel,Fact|date=April 2008 he founded a new company, Future Comics with Dick Giordano, and David Michelinie, with Layton as Editor in Chief, Michelinie as Head Writer, Giordano as Art Director and Skip Farrell as publisher. Between 2000 and 2002, they prepared to revolutionize the direct market system by bypassing distributors and selling direct to customers and shops through the Internet.

In August, 2002, "Freemind" #0 was released. Edited and inked by Layton, written by Layton and Michelinie and with pencils by Giordano it was followed by another title - "Metallix" - before the company decided to bow to pressure and sign with distributor Diamond in an attempt to maximize sales, while maintaining their independent approach. Ultimately, after three titles (the third was "Deathmask"), and seventeen total issues, the company was not making enough money to survive, and it folded, with one announced title - "Peacekeeper" - unpublished.

Current

Layton's work continues to be collected in multiple trade paperback collections. In 2006, he produced a number of variant covers to issues of Superverse Comics' "Zoom Suit", written by John Taddeo, and in 2007 his work was featured in issues of Marvel's encyclopedic "All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z: Update". Layton is currently working for Marvel as a freelance artist and writer on several projects including Iron Man: Legacy of Doom mini-series, Iron Man: The End, as well potential Hercules projects.

He continues to enjoy "doing commission work," writing::"How often do you, as an artist, get an opportunity to revisit a drawing and correct your mistakes? It’s also a lot less work that doing a monthly, 22-page comic. And occasionally, the fans come up with some great concepts fore [sic] me to execute."He says that he "miss [es] telling stories," and to that end has showcased unpublished issues of Future Comics properties on his [http://www.BobLayton.com/ website] , where he also presents his "new, serialized comic" " [http://www.boblayton.com./colony.htm Colony] ", with art by Giordano, and which "is a project that [Layton has] been developing for [over] 10 years and is currently making the rounds in Hollywood." Other potential film deals for the Future Comics characters are also reportedly semi-ongoing.

Louise Simonson (born Mary Louise Alexander, September 26, 1946 in Atlanta, Georgia, formerly Louise Jones, when married to artist Jeff Jones) is an American comic book writer and editor. She is best known for her work on comic book titles such as "Power Pack", "X-Factor", "New Mutants", "Superman", and "Steel". She is sometimes referred to by the nickname "Weezie".

Career

In 1971 Simonson (then Louise Jones) modeled for artist Berni Wrightson's cover of DC Comics "House of Secrets" #92 (June-July, 1971), a comic which later became famous as the first appearance of Swamp Thing. [ [http://www.twomorrows.com/comicbookartist/articles/05wrightson.html Bernie Wrightson Interview - Comic Book Artist #5 - TwoMorrows Publishing ] ]

Three years later in 1974, Jones started her professional comic book career at Warren Publishing. She went from assistant to senior editor of the comics line ("Creepy", "Eerie", and "Vampirella") before leaving the company at the end of 1979.

In January, 1980, she joined Marvel Comics, where she initially worked again as an editor, most notably on "Uncanny X-Men", which she edited for almost four years (#137–182).

Louise Jones met the comic book writer and artist Walt Simonson in 1973. The two were married in 1980. At the end of 1983, she quit her editing job at Marvel to try her hand at freelance writing. As "Louise Simonson", she became a freelance writer with multiple assignments at her former employer Marvel, such as "Starriors". Louise also helped her husband color his 1983 Marvel graphic novel "Star Slammers".

In August 1984, Simonson and artist June Brigman created "Power Pack". The title featured the adventures of four pre-teen superheroes and was an immediate sales and critical success. Simonson would write the majority of the title's first forty issues, even coloring one issue (#18).In 1986, Simonson returned to the X-books to begin a long stint as writer of X-Men spin-off "X-Factor" with #6. In that issue, she and artist Jackson Guice introduced Apocalypse, a character who would go on to play a major role in the X-Men franchise. From #10 of the title, she was joined by her husband, Walt Simonson, on pencils. In #25, the creators gave the character Angel blue skin and metal wings in a process which would lead to his being renamed as Archangel. She ended her run on the title with #64 in 1991.

Simonson (as Louise Jones) had edited another X-Men spin-off, "The New Mutants" (vol. 1), at its debut in 1983 (after leaving the book, she would have a "cameo" in "New Mutants" #21, drawn in as a slumber party guest by artist Bill Sienkiewicz). [ [http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/issues/showquestion.asp?fldAuto=887 UncannyXmen.Net: "New Mutants" (vol. 1) #21 synopsis] ] Subsequently, with #55 in 1987 she became the title’s writer, writing it for three and a half years until #97 in 1991. It was during this run that she and artist Rob Liefeld introduced Cable, another important character in the X-Men franchise.

In 1990, Simonson began writing for Marvel’s rivals, DC Comics. She, artist Jon Bogdanove, and editor Mike Carlin launched a new Superman title, "" — a title she would write for eight years until #86 in 1999. During this run, Simonson (along with Carlin, Dan Jurgens, Roger Stern and others) was one of the chief architects of the "The Death of Superman" storyline, in which Superman died and was resurrected. It was during that story, in "Superman: Man of Steel" #19, that Simonson and Bogdanove introduced their character Steel, who graduated to his own title in 1993, with Simonson as writer until #31. The character went on to feature in an eponymous feature film starring Shaquille O'Neal in 1997.

In 1999, Simonson returned to Marvel to write a Warlock series, which featured a character from her previous "New Mutants" run. Also at Marvel that year, she wrote a miniseries, "Galactus the Devourer", in which Galactus died temporarily.

In 2002 and 2003, Simonson wrote two books for teens based on the Justice League cartoon: "Wonder Woman (The Gauntlet)" and "Wild at Heart" published by Bantam Books.

More recently she has been involved with writing new stories featuring Magnus Robot Fighter for the publisher ibooks. In 2007, Simonson wrote a one-shot starring Magik of the New Mutants as part of a four-issue event known as "Mystic Arcana".

Early life and career

Peter David’s paternal grandparents, Martin and Hela David, and Peter's father, Gunter, came to the United States in the 1930s after the political situation in Nazi Germany deteriorated to the point that Martin's Berlin shoestore became the target of antisemitic vandalism.[7][8][9] David was born September 23, 1956 in Fort Meade, Maryland[1] to Gunter and Dalia,[10] an Israeli-born Jewish mother,[11][12][13] to whom David credits for his sense of humor.[10] He has two siblings,[14] a younger brother named Wally,[15] who works as a still life photographer[16] and musician,[dead link][17] and a sister named Beth.[18][19]

David first became interested in comics when he was about five years old, reading copies of Harvey Comics' Casper and Wendy in a barbershop. He became interested in superheroes through the Adventures of Superman TV series.[20] His favorite title was Superman,[2][21] and he cites John Buscema as his favorite pre-1970's artist.[22]

David's earliest interest in writing came through the journalism work of his father, Gunter, who would sometimes review movies, and take young Peter along if it was age-appropriate. While Gunter would write his reviews back at the newspaper’s office, Peter would write his own, portions of which would sometimes find their way into Gunter's published reviews.[21][23] David began to entertain the notion of becoming a professional writer at age twelve, buying a copy of The Guide to the Writer’s Market, and subscribing to similar-themed magazines,[24] in the hopes of becoming a reporter.[2]

David lived initially in Bloomfield, New Jersey,[25] but later moved to Verona, New Jersey, where he spent his adolescence. David's best friend in junior high and freshman year in high school, Keith, was gay, and David has described how both of them were targets of ostracism and harassment from homophobes. Although his family eventually moved to Pennsylvania,[26] his experiences in Verona soured him on that town, and would shape his liberal sociopolitical positions regarding LGBT issues. He would later make Verona the home location of villain Morgan le Fay in his novel Knight Life, and has often discussed his progressive views on LGBT issues in his column and on his blog.[27][28][29]

A seminal moment in the course of his aspirations occurred when he met writer Stephen King at a book signing, and told him that he was an aspiring writer. King signed David's copy of Danse Macabre with the inscription, "Good luck with your writing career.", which David now inscribes himself onto books presented to him by fans who tell him the same thing.[30] Other authors that David cites as influences include Harlan Ellison, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert B. Parker, Neil Gaiman,[31] Terry Pratchett,[21] Robert Crais[23] and Edgar Rice Burroughs.[32] Specific books he has mentioned as favorites include To Kill a Mockingbird, Tarzan of the Apes, The Princess Bride, The Essential Ellison, A Confederacy of Dunces,[33] Adams Versus Jefferson, and Don Quixote.[23] David has singled out Ellison in particular as a writer whom he has tried to emulate.[34]

David attended New York University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism. His first professional assignment was covering the World Science Fiction Convention held in Washington in 1974 for the Philadelphia Bulletin.[21][35]

David eventually gravitated towards fiction after his attempts at journalism did not meet with success.[2] His first published fiction was in Asimov's Science Fiction. He also sold an Op-ed piece to The New York Times, however, his submissions overall were met with rejection that far outnumbered those accepted.[36]

Comic book career

David eventually gave up on a career in writing, and came to work in book publishing, first for Elseviser/Nelson,[37] and later working in sales and distribution for Playboy Paperbacks. He subsequently worked for five years in Marvel Comics' Sales Department, first as Assistant Direct Sales Manager under Carol Kalish, who hired him, and then succeeding Kalish as Sales Manager.[21][38][39] During this time he made some cursory attempts to sell stories, including submission of some Moon Knight plots to Dennis O'Neil, but his efforts were unfruitful.[40] Three years into his tenure as Direct Sales Manager, Jim Owsley became editor of the Spider-Man titles. Although crossing over from sales into editorial was considered a conflict of interest in the Marvel offices, Owsley, whom David describes as a "maverick," was impressed with how David had not previously hesitated to work with him when Owsley was an assistant editor under Larry Hama, and thus, when he became an editor, he purchased a Spider-Man story from David, which appeared in Spectacular Spider-Man #103 in 1985.[2][41] Owsley subsequently purchased from David "The Death of Jean DeWolff", which ran in issues #107-110 of that title in 1985. Responding to charges of conflict of interest, David made a point of not discussing editorial matters with anyone during his 9 to 5 hours as Direct Sales Manager,[42] and decided not to exploit his position as Sales Manager by promoting the title.[36] Although David attributes the story's poor sales to this decision, such crossing over from Sales to Editorial, according to him, is now common.[36] Nonetheless, he says he was fired from Spectacular Spider-Man by Owsley due to editorial pressure by Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter, and has commented that the resentment stirred by Owsley's purchase of his stories may have permanently damaged Owsley's career.[2] Months later, after Shooter was replaced by Bob Harras, Harras offered David The Incredible Hulk, as it was a struggling title that no one else wanted to write.[36][42]

During his run on Hulk, David explored the recurring themes of the Hulk's multiple personality disorder, his periodic changes between the more rageful and less intelligent Green Hulk and the more streetwise, cerebral Gray Hulk, and of being a journeyman hero, which were inspired by Incredible Hulk #312 (October 1985), in which writer Bill Mantlo (and possibly, according to David, Barry Windsor-Smith) had first established that Banner had suffered childhood abuse at the hands of his father. These aspects of the character would later be used in the 2003 feature film adaptation by screenwriter Michael France and director Ang Lee.[39][43] Comic Book Resources credits David with making the formerly poor-selling book "a must-read mega-hit".[2]

It was after he had been freelancing for a year, and into his run on Hulk, that David felt that his writing career had cemented.[21] After putting out feelers at DC Comics, and being offered the job of writing a four-issue miniseries of The Phantom by editor Mike Gold, David quit his sales position to write full-time.[44]

David also took over Dreadstar during its First Comics run, with issue #41 (March 1989) after Jim Starlin left the title, and remained on it until issue #64 (March 1991), the final issue of that run.[45] David’s other Marvel Comics work in the late 1980s and 1990s includes runs on Wolverine, the New Universe series Merc and Justice, a run on the original X-Factor, and the futuristic series Spider-Man 2099, about a man in the year 2099 who takes up the mantle of Spider-Man, the title character of which David co-created.

At DC Comics in 1990, David wrote a seven-issue Aquaman miniseries, The Atlantis Chronicles, about the history of Aquaman's home of Atlantis, which David has referred to as among the written works of which he is most proud.[46] He would later write a 1994 Aquaman miniseries, Aquaman: Time and Tide, which would lead to a relaunched monthly Aquaman series, the first 46 issues of which he would write from 1994–1998. His run on Aquaman gained notoriety, for in the book's second issue, Aquaman lost a hand, which was then replaced with a harpoon, a feature of the character that endured for the duration of David's run on the book. He also wrote the Star Trek comic book for DC from 1988–1991, when that company held the licensing rights to the property, though he has opined that novels are better suited to Star Trek, whose stories are not highly visual.[2] David also enjoyed considerable runs on Supergirl and Young Justice, the latter eventually being canceled so that DC could use that book's characters in a relaunched Teen Titans monthly.

David's work for Dark Horse Comics has included the teen spy adventure, SpyBoy, which appeared in a series and a number of miniseries between 1999 and 2004, and the 2007 miniseries The Scream.

Other series David worked on in the 1990s include the 1997 miniseries, Heroes Reborn: The Return, for Marvel, and two creator-owned properties: Soulsearchers and Company, which is published by Claypool Comics, and the Epic Comics title Sachs and Violens, which he produced with co-creator, artist George Pérez.

David's early 2000s work includes runs on two volumes of Captain Marvel, which debuted in 2000 and 2002.

David and his second wife, Kathleen, wrote the final English-language text for the first four volumes of the manga series Negima for Del Rey Manga.[33]

In 2003, David began writing another creator-owned comic, Fallen Angel, for DC Comics, which he created in order to make use of plans he had devised for Supergirl after the "Many Happy Returns" storyline, but which were derailed by that series' cancellation. That same year, he also wrote a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series for Dreamwave that tied into the animated television series broadcast that year.[2] DC canceled Fallen Angel after 20 issues, but David re-started the title at IDW Publishing at the end of 2005. Other IDW work included a Spike: Old Times one-shot and the Spike vs. Dracula mini-series, both based on the character from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel television series.

In 2005, David briefly returned to Incredible Hulk, though he left after only 11 issues because of his workload.[48] He also started a new series, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, beginning with a twelve-part crossover storyline called "The Other", which, along with J. Michael Straczynski's run on Amazing Spider-Man, and Reginald Hudlin's run on Marvel Knights Spider-Man, depicted the webslinger as he discovered he was dying, lost an eye during a traumatic fight with Morlun, underwent a metamorphosis and emerged with new abilities and insights into his powers. As tends to be the case when fundamental changes are introduced to long-standing classic comics characters, the storyline caused some controversy among readers for its introduction of retractable stingers in Spider-Man's arms, and the establishment of a "totem" from which his powers are derived.[49] David's final issue of that title was #23.[50]

David also wrote a MadroX miniseries that year, whose success led to a relaunch of a monthly X-Factor (volume 3) written by him. This was a revamped version of the title starring both Madrox and other members of the former X-Factor title that David had written in the early '90s, now working as investigators in a detective agency of that name. David's work on the title garnered praise from Ain't it Cool News,[51] and David has stated that the opt in/opt out policy and greater planning with which Marvel now executes crossover storylines has made his second stint on the title far easier.[2] However, his decision to explicitly establish male characters Shatterstar and Rictor as sharing a homosexual attraction to one another (a confirmation of clues that had been established in X-Force years earlier[52]), drew criticism from Shatterstar's co-creator, Rob Liefeld,[53] though Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada supported David's story.[54] David would eventually win a 2011 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book for his work on the title.[55][56][57]

On February 11, 2006, David announced at the WonderCon convention in California in that he had signed an exclusive contract with Marvel Comics. Fallen Angel, Soulsearchers and Company and David's Spike miniseries were "grandfathered" into the contract, so as to not be affected by it.[58] The first new project undertaken by David after entering into the contract, which he announced on April 5, 2006, was writing the dialogue for The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born, the comic book spin-off of Stephen King's The Dark Tower novels, which would be illustrated by Jae Lee.[59] He would also script the subsequent Dark Tower comics as well.

David took over Marvel's She-Hulk after writer Dan Slott's departure, beginning with issue #22.[60][61] His run, which won praise,[62] ended with issue #38, when the series was canceled.[63] He also wrote a 2008-09 Sir Apropos of Nothing miniseries, based on the character from his novels, which was published by IDW Publishing.[64]

David's other 2000s comics based on licensed or adapted properties include Halo: Helljumper, a 2009 miniseries based on the Halo video game, a 2009 Ben 10: Alien Force manga book published by Del Rey, Ben Folds Four,[65] a "Little Mermaid" story in Jim Valentino's Fractured Fables anthology that was praised by Ain't It Cool News,[4] an adaptation of the 1982 film Tron that was released to tie in with that film's 2010 sequel,[66] and a John Carter of Mars prequel to the 2012 feature film.[32]

Novels

David's career as a novelist developed concurrently with his comic book writing career. David had been working at a publisher that went out of business, and a former coworker from that publisher became his agent, through whom he sold his first novel, Knight Life, to Ace Books.[21] Although the sale was made before he wrote any comic books, the novel was not published until eighteen months later, in 1987.[39] The novel depicts about the reappearance of King Arthur in modern-day New York City. Another early novel of his, Howling Mad, is about a wolf that turns into a human being after being bitten by a werewolf. Ace Books also hired David to write the Photon and Psi-Man novels, though they published them under the "house name" David Peters, over David's objections.[67] David updated Knight Life years later when Penguin Putnam brought it back into print in 2003, and made it a trilogy with the sequels One Knight Only and Fall of Knight, which were published in 2004 and 2007, respectively.[36] Penguin would also rerelease Howling Mad and the Psi-Man books under David's actual name.

David first began writing Star Trek novels at the request of Pocket Books editor Dave Stern, who was a fan of David's Star Trek comic book work.[36][68] His Star Trek novels are among those for which he is best known, including Q-in-Law; I, Q; Vendetta; Q-Squared; and Imzadi, one of the best-selling Star Trek novels of all time. He created the ongoing novel series, Star Trek: New Frontier, a spin-off from Star Trek: The Next Generation, with John J. Ordover in 1997. New Frontier continued until April 2011, with the publication of Blind Man's Bluff, the final New Frontier novel on David's contract at the time, after which the series' future was unclear to David.[3][69] David's other science fiction tie-in novels include written five Babylon 5 novels, three of which were originals, and two of which were adaptations of the TV movies Thirdspace and In the Beginning.

His other novel adaptations include those of the movies The Return of Swamp Thing, The Rocketeer, Batman Forever, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, Hulk, The Incredible Hulk, Fantastic Four, and Iron Man. He also wrote an original Hulk novel, The Incredible Hulk: What Savage Beast, based on story ideas that he was not permitted to use in the comic book, and an adaptation of an unused Alien Nation television script, "Body and Soul".

David's 2009 novel Tigerheart is a re-imagining of Peter Pan with a mix of new and old characters, told as a Victorian bedtime story, much like the classic tale. It was praised by Ain't It Cool News,[70] and honored by the School Library Journal as one of 2008's Best Adult Books for High School Students.[71] His Sir Apropos of Nothing fantasy trilogy, Sir Apropos of Nothing, The Woad to Wuin and Tong Lashing, features characters and settings completely of David’s own creation, as does his 2007 fantasy novel, Darkness of the Light, which is the first in a new trilogy of novels titled The Hidden Earth. The second installment, The Highness of the Low, was scheduled to be published in September 2009,[65] but David has related on his blog that it has been delayed until the winter of 2012.[10]

David's 2010 novel work includes Year of the Black Rainbow, a novel cowritten with musician Claudio Sanchez of the band Coheed and Cambria, that was released with the band's album of the same name,[72] and an Fable original novel The Balverine Order, set between the events of Fable II and Fable III.[66] In April 2011, David announced that, in addition to another Fable novel, he and a number of other writers, including Glenn Hauman, Mike Friedman and Bob Greenberger, were assembling an electronic publishing endeavor called Crazy Eight Press, which would allow them to publish e-books directly to fans, the first of which would be David's Arthurian story, The Camelot Papers. David explained that the second book in his "Hidden Earth" trilogy would also be published through Crazy Eight.[3][73]

Writing habits and approach

David has stated that he tries to block out different days and different times to work on different projects.[74] He usually works in the morning, for example, on novels, and does comics-related work in the afternoon.[10] Having previously used Smith Corona typewriters, he writes on a Sony Vaio desktop computer, using Microsoft Word for his comics and novel work, and Final Draft for his screenplays.[23] When writing novels, he sometimes outlines the story, and sometimes improvises it as he is writing it.[75]

David previously wrote his comic book scripts using the Marvel Method, but due to his tendency to overplot, as during his collaboration with Todd McFarlane on The Incredible Hulk, he switched to the full script method,[76] which he continues to use as of 2003.[21] He has stated that he prefers to plot his comics stories in six-month arcs.[5] He has also stated that when he works on a particular title, he always does so with a particular person or group of people in mind to which he dedicates it, explaining that he wrote Supergirl for his daughters, Young Justice for a son he might one day have and The Incredible Hulk for his first wife, Myra, who urged him to first accept the job of writing that book. David has further explained that the events of his own life are sometimes reflected in his work, as when, for example, following the breakup of his first marriage, the direction of The Incredible Hulk faltered, with the Hulk wandering the world aimlessly, hopelessly looking to be loved.[77]

David has stated that his favorite female character of his own creation is Lee, the protagonist of Fallen Angel, which he says is derived from the positive female fan reaction to that character.[78] Characters that David has not written but which he has expressed an interest in writing for the comics medium include Batman, Tarzan, Doc Savage, the Dragonriders of Pern, the Steed/Peel Avengers, and Dracula. He has specifically mentioned interest in writing a Tarzan vs. the Phantom story.[21][74]

Nominations

Public persona

On more than one occasion, editorial problems or corporate pressure to modify or re-script his plotlines have prompted David to leave books, particularly his decision to terminate his first run on Marvel's X-Factor, due to constantly having to constrain his plots to accommodate crossover events with other books.[33][113][114] He also resigned from Spider-Man 2099 to protest the firing of editor Joey Cavalieri, and from Aquaman over other creative differences.[2][115] When David abruptly left his first stint on The Incredible Hulk due to editorial pressures,[77] some of the plot points of the character that David established were retconned by later creative teams.[33]

In his "But I Digress" column, which has appeared in the Comics Buyer's Guide since July 27, 1990, and in his blog, in operation since April 2002,[116][117] David has been outspoken in many of his views pertaining to the comic book industry, and numerous other subjects. He has criticized the low regard in which writers are held,[118][119] the practice of bagged comics,[120] so-called "poster covers" that showcase a character without indicating anything about the comic's content, the meaninglessness of killing off characters to be eventually revived, the poor commitment on the part of some to maintaining continuity in shared fictional universes, and the emphasis on gearing monthly comics series toward eventual collection into trade paperbacks. David has opined that failure on the part of consumers to purchase the monthly individual issues in favor of waiting for the trade collections hurts the sales of the monthly, and its chances of being collected at all.[21][31] A father of four daughters, David has worked on a number of series that feature female leads, such as Supergirl, Fallen Angel and She-Hulk, and has lamented that the American comic book market is not very supportive of such books.[2][63] David has spoken out about fans who are abusive or threatening to creators,[121] and against copyright infringement,[122] particularly that committed through peer-to-peer file sharing and posting literary works in their entirety on the Internet without the permission of the copyright holder.[123]

On many occasions, he has offered criticisms of specific publishers, as when he criticized Wizard magazine for ageism.[124][125] He has criticized companies for not sufficiently compensating the creators of their long-standing and lucrative characters, such as Marvel Comics for its treatment of Blade creator Marv Wolfman[126] and Archie Comics for its treatment of Josie and the Pussycats creator Dan DeCarlo.[127][128] He has also criticized publishers for various other business practices,[129] including Marvel[130] and Image Comics.[131] He has also defended said companies from criticism he feels is unfounded, as when he defended Marvel from a February 17, 1992 Barron’s magazine article.[132] He has criticized deletionists on Wikipedia on more than one occasion.[133][134][135]

On occasion, he has also disagreed publicly with specific industry personalities such as Frank Miller[125] and Jim Shooter.[136] Particularly publicized were his disagreements with Spawn creator Todd McFarlane in 1992 and 1993, in the wake of the formation of Image Comics, the company McFarlane co-founded. This came to a head during a public debate they participated in at Philadelphia's Comicfest convention in October 1993, which was moderated by artist George Pérez. McFarlane claimed that Image was not being treated fairly by the media, and by David in particular. The three judges, Maggie Thompson, editor of the Comics Buyer's Guide, William Christensen of Wizard Press, and John Danovich of the magazine Hero Illustrated, voted 2-1 in favor of David, with Danovich voting the debate a tie.[137] David has since criticized McFarlane for other business practices,[138] and has also engaged in public disagreements with The Comics Journal editor Gary Groth,[139] Erik Larsen,[140] Rob Liefeld,[119] Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada,[141] writer/director Kevin Smith,[142] DC Comics Vice President and Executive Editor Dan DiDio,[143] and John Byrne.[144] Despite his differences with Byrne, David has stated that he is still a fan of Byrne's, citing Byrne's work on X-Men, Fantastic Four, Next Men, Alpha Flight and Babe.[31]

Politically, David identifies himself as liberal.[145] He was critical of the George W. Bush administration in general,[146] and the Iraq War in particular,[147][148] as well as other Republicans[149][150] and the religious right.[151] He has spoken out in favor of Israel's right to defend itself from aggressors, and has opined that certain criticisms of Israel indicate bias and double standards.[152] He favors gun control,[153][154] and holds progressive or liberal views on LGBT issues, including favoring gay marriage[28][155] and allowing openly homosexual individuals to serve in the military.[156] He opposes capital punishment.[147][157][158] He is an advocate of freedom of speech,[154][159] having criticized various publicized instances of censorship in general,[160] such as the targeting of comic book retailers for prosecution for selling certain comic books,[145][161] and the Comics Code Authority in particular.[162] He is a promoter and activist for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which comes to the aid of such creators and retailers.[163] He has, however, also criticized ideas associated with liberalism or political correctness,[13] such as certain publicized cases of alleged sexual harassment or discrimination that he deems unfounded,[164] and has not shied away from criticizing liberals and Democrats,[165][166] including Bill Clinton,[167] Al Gore,[147] Hillary Clinton,[168] Michelle Obama[169] Caroline Kennedy[150] and Barack Obama.[170]

Personal life

David met his first wife, Myra Kasman,[10] at a Star Trek convention. They married in June 1977,[171] with his childhood friend Keith serving as best man.[26] Together they had three daughters, Shana, Guinevere and Ariel.[172] They separated in late 1996,[173][174] and were divorced[175] by 1998.[176] David began dating Kathleen O'Shea, a bookseller,[177] puppeteer[178] and writer/editor[33] in 1998.[176] After dating for three years, David proposed to O'Shea at the Adventurers Club in Disneyworld on September 3, 2000.[179] They married on May 26, 2001[180][181] in Atlanta, Georgia.[182] Their daughter, Caroline Helen David, was born on December 5, 2002,[183] and named after David's late friend and coworker, Carol Kalish.[184] David and his family live on the south shore of Long Island.[185]

On June 27, 2010, David's wife, Kathleen, announced on his website that he had successfully undergone surgery on June 25 to relieve serious back pain.[186] On June 30, David himself explained on his site that the pain, which he had been suffering in his hips and knees for three weeks, left him unable to function, and was eventually diagnosed as a herniated disc caused by bone fragments and fluid buildup. He underwent a three-hour discectomy,[187] and was told his full strength would return in six months.[188]

David had been a conservative Jew, but as of October 2003, attends a reform synagogue.[21] He has, however, expressed reservations about organized religion.[189]

David has named Groo the Wanderer, Liberty Meadows, Fables, Y: The Last Man, Strangers in Paradise, Runaways, She-Hulk, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, Knights of the Dinner Table, The Crossovers and J. Michael Straczynski’s run on Spider-Man as comics that he has enjoyed.[21][23][74][190]

David is an avid fan of bowling, and a bowler himself, as is his daughter Ariel.[191][192] He is also a fan of the New York Mets.[193][194] His favorite music includes the Beatles,[21] and his favorite albums include Harry Chapin's Verities and Balderdash and the soundtracks to Amadeus and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.[10] He is an enthusiast of movie musicals,[195] in particular 1776, Man of La Mancha, Li’l Abner and Into the Woods, with a taste for Lerner and Loewe and Stephen Sondheim.[21][75] He also acts in local stage productions.[196][197][198]

His favorite movies include The Adventures of Robin Hood, That, Casablanca, and the early Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan films.[74] His favorite TV shows have included Doctor Who, Hill Street Blues, Charmed, Carnivale, Boston Public, The Practice, Friends, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Alias and The West Wing.[21][31]

  6. ^ Examples cited by David and others include commenting that he had a "good run" on Supergirl by having that character use that phrase in a letter to Clark Kent in David's final issue of that title. Another is the aged, future Rick Jones in the final issue of David's 12-year run on The Incredible Hulk, telling an unseen interviewer by the name of "Peter" (which David stated he left vague enough so that it could be interpreted as either himself or Peter Parker) that he was finished talking about the Hulk, and wanted to move on to other things, which echoed David's own sentiments. David also appeared in an issue of the series, in the form of the unnamed priest who married Jones and his wife in The Incredible Hulk #418 (June 1994), who was illustrated to look like David.
