Howard Mackie got his start at Marvel during the late 1980s as an
editor and then a writer. One of his first series as full-time
scribe was 1990's massively popular Ghost Rider, which introduced
the alter ego Danny Ketch to the mythos of the Spirit of Vengeance.
He also wrote prolifically in the Spider-Man and X-Men titles of
the '90s.
Roy Thomas joined the Marvel Bullpen as a writer and editor under
Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every title of the time-
Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange,
Sub-Mariner, Thor, X-Men and more. He wrote the first 10 years of
Marvel's Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and
launched such series as Defenders, Iron Fist, Invaders and Warlock.
At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related
titles, proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice
Society of America. Thomas later became editor of Alter Ego, a
magazine devoted to comic-book history, and co-scripted the
sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer.
Dann Thomas has written or co-written stories in multiple Avengers
titles. At DC, she collaborated with husband Roy to create Infinity
Inc., Jonni Thunder, Young All-Stars, and other Golden Age
character tie-ins.
Javier Saltares created a name for himself as both an inker and a
pencil artist. His comics career started on New Universe titles
such as Psi-Force, Justice and D.P. 7 - but in 1990, with penciler
and future brother-in-law Mark Texeira, Saltares helped create the
intense visual style that made Ghost Rider one of the most popular
comics of the decade. In recent years, after a turn drawing G.I.
Joe for Devil's Due, Saltares returned to Marvel, re-teaming with
Texeira on Wolverine and the Ghost Rider revival by writer Daniel
Way.
Mark Texeira worked on Marvel's New Universe titles, including
Psi-Force and Kickers, Inc., and other books - but his reputation
caught fire in the early 1990s as a revamped Ghost Rider returned
the character to fan-favorite status. Texeira helped introduce
Black Panther to Marvel Knights in an acclaimed run, and his art
has long been a regular sight for Marvel readers - particularly on
gritty characters like Wolverine, Moon Knight, Punisher and a
return to Ghost Rider.
Larry Stroman penciled X-Factor during the early '90s before
beginning work on his creator-owned title Tribe. His work on
notable comics characters includes Uncanny X-Men, Black Panther and
the Heroes Reborn version of Iron Man for Marvel; DC's Darkstars;
and Wildstorm's WildC.A.T.s. Stroman recently returned to the pages
of X-Factor, re-teaming with author Peter David for a well-received
story arc.
