About Marv Wolfman

One of the most prolific and influential writers in modern comics Marv Wolfman began his career as an artist. Realizing that his talents lay more in writing the stories than in drawing them Wolfman soon became known for his carefully crafted character-driven tales. In a career that has spanned nearly 30 years Wolfman has helped shape the heroic careers of DC Comics' Green Lantern Blackhawk and the original Teen Titans as well as Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four Spider-Man and Nova. In addition to co-creating The New Teen Titans and the universe-shattering Crisis on Infinite Earths with George Perez Wolfman was instrumental in the revamp of Superman after Crisis the development of The New Teens Titans spinoff series Vigilante Deathstroke the Terminator and Team Titans and created such characters as Blade for Marvel along with Night Force and the retooled Dial H for Hero for DC. In addition to his numerous comic book credits Wolfman has also written several novels and worked in series television and animation including the Superman cartoon of the late 1980s and currently the hit Teen Titans show on Cartoon Network. His novelization of Crisis on Infinite Earths was published in the spring of 2005 by iBooks. George Perez started drawing at the age of five and hasn't stopped since. Born on June 9 1954 Perez began his professional comics career as an assistant to Rich Buckler in 1973. After establishing himself as a penciller at Marvel Comics Perez came to DC in 1980 bringing his highly detailed art style to such titles as Justice League of America and Firestorm. After co-creating The New Teen Titans in 1980 Perez and writer Marv Wolfman reunited for the landmark miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985. In the aftermath of that universe-smashing event Perez revitalized Wonder Woman as the series' writer and artist re-establishing her as one of DC's preeminent characters and bringing in some of the best sales the title has ever experienced. He has since gone on to illustrate celebrated runs on Marvel's The Avengers CrossGen's Solus and DC's The Brave and the Bold.
