After early assignments on Kickers Inc. and Cloak and Dagger, Terry
Kavanagh wrote Web of Spider-Man for years - spinning a hero he
introduced in those pages, Nightwatch, into his own title. In
addition to runs on Marc Spector- Moon Knight, X-Man and various
mutant titles, he wrote Avengers, Iron Man and several tie-in
one-shots during the controversial "Crossing" storyline. His
miniseries work includes Before the Fantastic Four- The Storms,
Fury/Agent 13, Black Cat and Rise of Apocalypse. He teamed Marvel
heroes with UItraverse heroes in Exiles vs. X-Men and
Ultraforce/Avengers Prelude.
Bruce Jones, a professional writer for more than 30 years, was a
founding contributor to the legendary horror magazines Creepy and
Eerie. His run on Incredible Hulk shifted the title's focus from
traditional super-heroics to taut psychological thriller,
propelling the series to best-selling status.
In addition to runs on Fantastic Four and Thor, original Moon
Knight scribe Doug Moench specialized in writing features outside
the Marvel mainstream - including Adventure into Fear's Morbius,
Frankenstein, Inhumans, Ka-Zar- Lord of the Hidden Jungle, Master
of Kung Fu, Werewolf by Night and Astonishing Tales' Deathlok.
Proving his eclectic abilities, he also wrote the full run of
Godzilla, most of Shogun Warriors and stories for virtually every
Marvel black-and-white magazine of the 1970s. He expanded on his
Star-Lord and Weirdworld sagas in multiple anthology titles. At DC,
he wrote memorable runs on Batman, Detective Comics and Legends of
the Dark Knight - along with numerous Batman one-shots,
cross-company crossovers and Elseworlds sagas. He further
contributed such short-lived but unique series as Electric Warrior,
Lords of the Ultra-Realm, Slash Maraud, Wanderers and
Xenobrood.
Milestone co-founder Denys Cowan's comic-book career began on
backup features- White Tiger in Spectacular Spider-Man and
Firestorm in DC's Flash. At Marvel, he moved on to pencil Power Man
and Iron Fist, a Black Panther miniseries and Moon Knight- Divided
We Fall, among other projects. Back at DC, he specialized in such
urban heroes as Green Arrow, Question and Steel; he also penciled
multiple miniseries, including Batman- The Ultimate Evil, Fight for
Tomorrow and Total Justice. In the TV field, he produced episodes
of Milestone spinoff Static Shock and comic strip tie-in The
Boondocks, subsequently becoming senior vice president of animation
for Black Entertainment Television.
During the 1960s, when males dominated the industry, Marie Severin
earned the respect of her peers with her seemingly limitless
talents in every facet of comic-book production - from penciling to
inking to lettering to coloring. Her earliest recorded work was for
EC Comics in 1949, and she went on to contribute coloring across
the famous publisher's line before moving to Marvel's predecessor
Atlas Comics. In the Silver Age of comics, Severin made her mark in
the Bullpen, drawing the adventures of Doctor Strange and becoming
the company's head colorist before going on to concentrate on
penciling. Her extensive contribution to Marvel across a wide array
of titles includes providing the original design for Spider-Woman.
Severin was inducted into the Will Eisner Comics Hall of Fame in
2001.
Alex Saviuk established himself as a major Marvel artist with a
seven-year run on Web of Spider-Man. He also worked on the
animated-series tie-in Spider-Man Adventures and drew the Amazing
Spider-Man comic strip from scripts by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber.
At DC, he penciled and inked Flash, Green Lantern, Superman and
other titles.
