Collecting AVENGERS (1963) #9, MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE (1974) #78, WONDER MAN (1986) #1 and AVENGERS (1998) #14.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Artists \u0026amp; Writers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriter\/editor   Stan Lee (1922-2018) made   comic-book history together with Jack Kirby in 1961 with Fantastic Four #1. The monumental   popularity of its new style inspired Lee to develop similarly themed   characters — including the Hulk and X-Men with Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor   Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with Bill Everett. After shepherding   his creations through dozens of issues — in some cases a hundred or more —   Lee allowed other writers to take over, but he maintained steady editorial   control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into a multimedia empire. In   recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in Marvel’s films established   Lee as one of the world’s most famous faces.After   beginning his writing career on DC horror titles, David   Michelinie moved to Marvel. He and co-writer\/inker   Bob Layton established Iron Man’s battle with alcoholism, use of specialized   armor variants and vendetta against Doctor Doom, as well as other aspects of   the character that endure to this day. Michelinie’s unique blend of action,   suspense and humor distinguished not only Iron Man, but also Amazing Spider-Man. With artist Todd McFarlane, he introduced the vicious   vigilante Venom; he also wrote the first Venom limited series, Lethal Protector. Michelinie’s run   as Amazing writer was   second in length only to that of Stan Lee himself, while he also authored   tie-in titles Spectacular Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man and Spider-Man. He moved from Marvel’s flagship character to DC’s with a   stint on Superman’s Action Comics, later returning to the world of Tony Stark for writing   collaborations with Bob Layton on Iron Man: Legacy   of Doom and Iron Man:   The End.Steve   Englehart’s history-making contributions to the Marvel   Universe began with the Beast’s solo feature in Amazing   Adventures, in which the eloquent X-Man first   assumed furry form. As Avengers writer, he masterminded such major events as “The   Avengers\/Defenders War” (in both teams’ titles) and “The Celestial Madonna   Saga.” In Captain America,   he identified and solved the “mystery” of the 1950s Captain America (later   revived by Ed Brubaker), and gave the true Cap the alternate identity of   Nomad. Englehart’s Dr. Strange storyline in Marvel   Premiere established the character as Sorcerer   Supreme and covered the creation of the universe itself. At DC, he helped   revamp Batman, Green Lantern, Superman and other major heroes for the 1970s.   Back at Marvel, he wrote the first few years of West   Coast Avengers and Silver   Surfer. His published novels include Countdown to Flight, Hellstorm (part of the TALON Force series), Majorca, The   Point Man and, with wife Terry Beach, books in the   DNAgers young-adult   series. Englehart has also written TV episodes and designed video games.Don   Heck (1929-1995) worked for Harvey, Quality, Hillman and   other publishers before arriving at Atlas Comics, later Marvel, where he   penciled and inked stories for virtually every genre: crime, horror, jungle,   romance, war, Western and more. With Stan Lee and others, he launched Iron Man, his supporting cast and   his early rogues gallery — including the Black Widow, Hawkeye and the   Mandarin. He also succeeded Jack Kirby on Avengers. At DC, his artwork appeared in Justice   League of America, Flash, Wonder Woman and other titles.Kerry   Gammill has illustrated Fantastic   Four and Power Man and   Iron Fist for Marvel, and DC’s Superman. In Marvel Team-Up, he and J.M.   DeMatteis introduced Frog-Man and the White Rabbit, and he penciled Louise   Simonson’s scripts on Fallen Angels. Moving to the film industry, Gammill served as a   special-effects artist, character designer and storyboard artist on such   projects as Species II   and Tremors: The Series.   He also became one of the guiding minds behind Monster   Kid Magazine, a publication focusing on classic   monster movies of another era.Al   Milgrom, A.K.A. “Editori-Al,” is renowned as writer,   editor, penciler and inker — and held most of those positions on Spectacular Spider-Man. He also   contributed to SSM’s   sibling Amazing Spider-Man. He penciled West Coast Avengers for four years and inked X-Factor for eight. His artwork has also appeared in Avengers, Captain   America, Thor and most X-titles, including the classic Kitty Pryde and Wolverine. As   editor, he oversaw Marvel’s Epic imprint and the sixty-issue run of Marvel Fanfare, where his satirical   self-portraits made his face as recognizable as any super hero’s mask. At DC,   he co-created Firestorm the Nuclear Man with Gerry Conway.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marvel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43591874773183,"sku":"9781302954543","price":21.24,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/9781302954543.jpg?v=1722897844","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/marvel-verse-wonder-man","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
