Writer
Christopher Priest has penned many Marvel titles -- including Falcon, Power Man and Iron Fist, Conan the Barbarian, Deadpool and The Crew -- but he is best known for his stunning revitalization of Black Panther for the Marvel Knights line. Priest co-founded Milestone Comics and co-created the fan-favorite Quantum and Woody for Acclaim Comics. Priest's later Marvel credits include Captain America & the Falcon, Spider-Force and U.S.Agent.
Peter B. Gillis began as a 1970s freelancer on Marvel Two-in-One, Super-Villain Team-Up and other titles. Later, he became regular writer on Defenders, Eternals and Strange Tales, in which he subjected Doctor Strange to a soul-searching gamut of good and evil magic. Elsewhere in the Marvel multiverse, he wrote Micronauts: The New Voyages and launched Strikeforce: Morituri with Brent Anderson, telling tales of a universe in which superhumans must embrace death to protect the Earth. He has also written for First Comics, TSR Games and others; he co-created Shatter, the first digital comic.
Mike Zeck regularly drew Master of Kung Fu, Power Man and Iron Fist, Spectacular Spider-Man and other hits of the late 1970s. He joined J.M. DeMatteis on a remarkable Captain America run, reviving Baron Zemo, Nomad and Deathlok. In Secret Wars, he helped introduce the alien costume that eventually became a component of Venom; reuniting with DeMatteis, he drew the groundbreaking "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline for the Spider-Man titles. He has also drawn DC's Aquaman, Green Lantern, Lobo and others.
