About the Author: With a writing resume stretching across the romance, sword-and-sorcery, and Western genres, Denny O'Neil wrote four years of Iron Man -- including some of the title's most sweeping changes. His additional Marvel work includes runs on Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil and Power Man and Iron Fist, as well as the one-shot X-Men: Heroes for Hope. At DC, his groundbreaking Green Lantern/Green Arrow run earned him four Shazam Awards. He also wrote and often revamped such mainstays as Batman (where he co-created Ra's al Ghul), Flash, Superman and Wonder Woman, as well as adaptations of classic pulp heroes Doc Savage, Justice, Inc. and The Shadow. During the 1980s, he oversaw the groundbreaking death of Robin (Jason Todd). He has written multiple Batman graphic novels and novelizations, as well as The DC Comics Guide to Writing Comics. Steven Grant has written Captain America, Incredible Hulk, Master of Kung Fu, Spidey Super Stories and more. In 1985, he penned the first Punisher miniseries, revisiting the character in several Holiday Special stories and the graphic novel Return to Big Nothing. Grant has also written First Comics' American Flagg, Shatter and his creator-owned Whisper. Harlan Ellison's co-development of the microscopic world of K'ai is only one of his many contributions to comicdom, including classic tales of Daredevil, Batman and others. As a writer of speculative fiction, he is famed for such stories as "A Boy and His Dog," "The Deathbird," "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" and far too many others to list here. He also edited the controversial Dangerous Visions anthologies. As a screenwriter, he penned episodes of The Outer Limits, Star Trek, Tales from the Darkside and several other TV series; he also acted as creative consultant on the '80s version of Twilight Zone and Babylon 5.

In short order, he became the regular artist on Daredevil, first collaborating with writer Frank Miller on the character-defining "Born Again" story arc. Later, he re-teamed with Miller on the equally influential "Batman: Year One." Subsequent projects have included Mazzucchelli's independent anthology, Rubber Blanket; an adaptation of Paul Auster's City of Glass; short stories for a number of alternative comics collections; and illustration work for publications such as The New Yorker. He is currently writing and drawing an original graphic novel.

In addition, he penned the infamous Marvel Team-Up issue featuring Aunt May vs. Galactus. Artist David Mazzucchelli begin working in comics during the early 1980s.

His long artistic collaboration with Frank Miller on Daredevil remains one on the most celebrated runs in comics, and the pair reunited on the similarly revered Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Janson has also enjoyed a long and successful professional relationship with John Romita Jr., inking the penciler's pages on projects including Amazing Spider-Man, Wolverine, World War Hulk and Avengers. A scholar of the medium, Janson teaches sequential storytelling at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and wrote both The DC Comics Guide to Penciling Comics and The DC Comics Guide to Inking Comics. Luke McDonnell penciled a long stint on Iron Man, encompassing the controversial storyline in which Tony Stark ceded the Iron Man armor to his friend James Rhodes. McDonnell's work also appeared in Daredevil, Spectacular Spider-Man, What If? and elsewhere. At DC, he penciled most of John Ostrander's Suicide Squad and its spinoff miniseries Deadshot, as well as a Justice League of America stint during its "Detroit JLA" phase. Eclipso, Green Lantern: Mosaic and Secret Origins are only a few of the other titles benefiting from his work. Writer/artist Larry Hama got his start as a penciler before becoming a respected editor and later a writer during the '80s with his career-defining work on G.I. Joe and a memorable run on Wolverine. Through the years, Hama proved his versatility writing Avengers, Blaze, Elektra, Generation X, The Punisher: War Zone and multiple Venom miniseries. When Devil's Due, IDW and Image Comics in turn obtained the G.I. Joe license, Hama revisited his iconic Marvel run, continuing where he had left off years earlier and bringing the series to -- and past -- a record-breaking three hundred issues. At Continuity Comics, he created Bucky O'Hare, launching a franchise that extended to animation, video games and a toy line. Hama recently revisited his era helming the adventures of Logan with the Wolverine: Patch limited series.
