Well-remembered for his Tomb of Dracula scripts, he also enjoyed runs on Dr. Strange, Fantastic Four and Nova, among other titles. New Teen Titans, his 1980s collaboration with George Pérez, became DC Comics’ biggest hit in years. Wolfman and Pérez literally rewrote DC history with Crisis on Infinite Earths. He subsequently penned episodes for such animated TV series as G.I. Joe, Transformers and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Bill Mantlo\u003c\/b\u003e began his Marvel career on Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, in which he introduced White Tiger, one of the industry’s earliest Hispanic super heroes. Eventually writing stories for almost every Marvel title, he did some of his most fondly remembered work on Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man. He also launched Cloak and Dagger in a pair of miniseries and guided Alpha Flight through some of its most harrowing ordeals. Mantlo excelled at integrating licensed properties into the Marvel Universe, as demonstrated by Micronauts and Rom: Spaceknight, both of which he wrote from start to finish. At DC, he wrote the Invasion miniseries for one of the company’s biggest crossover events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoger   Stern\u003c\/b\u003e enjoyed well-regarded runs on Amazing Spider-Man, in which he   introduced Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) and the Hobgoblin; Avengers; and Captain America. He launched West Coast Avengers and wrote   numerous tie-in miniseries starring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. At DC, he   relaunched Atom and co-created Starman (Will Payton) before participating in   one of comics’ most shocking events: the 1992 “Death of Superman.” He later   returned to Marvel to write Amazing Spider-Man and related titles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeith Pollard\u003c\/b\u003e drew simultaneous runs on three of Marvel’s longest-running titles: Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Thor, including Roy Thomas and Mark Gruenwald’s “Eternals Saga.” During the 1990s, he singlehandedly penciled hundreds of characters for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Master Edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn   Byrne\u003c\/b\u003e has worked continuously in the comics industry as   both writer and artist since 1975. After he initially collaborated with   writer Chris Claremont on Iron Fist, Byrne and Claremont moved on to X-Men for a run still regarded as one of the title’s finest. Byrne   contributed an equally famed stint on Fantastic   Four, earning comparisons to the original   Lee\/Kirby issues for his imaginative plotlines and dynamic artwork. He also   spun Alpha Flight into   its own title. In 1986, he revamped DC’s flagship hero, Superman, reimagining   the Man of Steel in a historic project heralded by a Time magazine cover. His remarkable   contribution to the Marvel Universe extends to memorable associations with   virtually every major hero, including celebrated runs on Captain America, Iron Man, Sensational   She-Hulk, Namor the   Sub-Mariner and Thing. In the 21st century, Byrne’s considerable body of work   includes IDW’s Star Trek   and Angel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis   place in Marvel history assured when he helped introduce Deathlok in the   pages of Astonishing Tales, \u003cb\u003eRich Buckler\u003c\/b\u003e also penciled several   storylines in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man — along with runs on Jungle Action’s Black Panther, Fantastic Four, Thor   and other monthly titles, as well as Roy Thomas’s miniseries Saga of the Sub-Mariner and Saga of the Original Human Torch.   Buckler’s 1970s DC work includes Lois Lane, Secret Society of Super-Villains and World’s Finest, as well as the groundbreaking Superman   vs. Shazam.
