Al Milgrom

He held most of these roles on Spectacular Spider-Man and also contributed to its sibling title, Amazing Spider-Man. Milgrom penciled West Coast Avengers for four years and inked X-Factor for eight. His artwork has also graced titles such as Avengers, Captain America, Thor, and most X-titles, including the classic Kitty Pryde and Wolverine. As an editor, he oversaw Marvel’s Epic imprint and the sixty-issue run of Marvel Fanfare, where his satirical self-portraits became as recognizable as any superhero’s mask. At DC, he co-created Firestorm the Nuclear Man with Gerry Conway.

Bill Mantlo

Bill Mantlo began his Marvel career on Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, introducing White Tiger, one of the industry’s earliest Hispanic superheroes. 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, a major crossover event.

Trimpe’s war-story credits also include the introduction of the Phantom Eagle, the WWI aviator hero whose adventures were later chronicled by Garth Ennis.
