Matt   Kindt is the Harvey Award-winning writer and artist of   the comics and graphic novels MIND MGMT,   Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., Revolver, 3 Story, Super Spy, 2 Sisters and Pistolwhip. He has been nominated for four Eisner and three Harvey   Awards, and won once. His work has been published in French, Spanish, Italian   and German.
As   both writer and artist, Archie Goodwin (d. 1998) got his start in comic strips and cartoons before   moving to Warren Publishing’s Vampirella — and from there to Marvel, where he eventually succeeded Gerry   Conway as editor in chief. He has been credited with saving Marvel from   financial ruin, with Roy Thomas, by securing adaptation rights to the   legendary Star Wars   franchise, perceiving its potential long before later merchandisers. He also   wrote comic-book adaptations of Alien, Blade Runner and other hit films. He   created both Marvel’s Graphic Novel line and its Epic Comics imprint — where, as editor, he occasionally   appeared in caricature as alien, elf or other. He also edited early English   translations of the Akira   series and the works of Moebius. At DC Comics, he guided the destinies of   Batman and Starman; one of his most memorable bodies of work was his   collaboration with Walter Simonson on the “Manhunter” backup feature in Detective Comics, which won five   Shazam Awards.
Bruce   Jones, a professional writer for more than 30 years, was   a founding contributor to the legendary horror magazines Creepy and Eerie. His run on Incredible Hulk shifted the title’s focus from traditional super-heroics to   taut psychological thriller, propelling the series to best-selling status.
Veteran   illustrator Al Williamson (d.   2010) began his career at age 17 as an assistant on the Tarzan newspaper strip. Williamson   soon found work at EC Comics drawing science-fiction stories for titles like Weird Science and Weird Fantasy. In the late 1950s he   illustrated Western, jungle and war stories for Atlas Comics, the forerunner   of Marvel. Williamson helped launch Warren Publishing’s Creepy and Eerie, and King Features’ Flash Gordon, a character he would   continue to work with for years. Williamson illustrated the Secret Agent Corrigan newspaper   strip for 13 years and the Star Wars newspaper strip for three. In the late 1980s, Williamson   became an inker. His work on Daredevil and Spider-Man 2099 won several Harvey Awards; his inks on Atomic Age won him an Eisner.
John   Nadeau is known for drawing multiple series in Dark Horse   Comics’ Aliens line, as   well as his contributions to the publisher’s Star   Wars output — not least as the most frequent   artist on Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron.
Two-time   Emmy Award-winner Bret Blevins’   early Marvel work included adaptations of films such as The Dark Crystal, Krull and The   Last Starfighter. Moving into the Marvel Universe,   he drew Strange Tales’   Cloak and Dagger feature, and penciled much of Louise Simonson’s New Mutants run. In 1996, he moved   into TV animation, storyboarding for Batman Beyond, Justice League and New Batman/Superman Adventures. He now divides time between oil painting and freelance   storyboarding.
