More About the Author

Steve Englehart

Born in Indianapolis, he went to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. He studied Psychology because people fascinated him, but in getting his B.A. he learned that psychology didn't describe real people, so he became a writer.

Living the Young Creator's life in New York, he got to be drinking buddies with an editorial assistant at Marvel Comics. One night the e.a. called to say he was going on vacation for six weeks; would Steve like to fill in for him on staff? Steve would, and once in the door at what was then a very small operation, he got a shot at writing a comic. It was a failing series called Captain America -- but six months later it had become Marvel's leading seller, and Steve had all the work he could handle. He became Marvel's lead writer, adding The Hulk, The Avengers, Thor, Dr. Strange, and half a dozen other series. Then he was hired away by DC Comics to be their lead writer and revamp their core characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern). He did, but also wrote a solo Batman series that readers dubbed the "definitive" version and broke the long-standing barrier between comics readers and the mass market. All comics films since Batman in 1989 stem from that.

After Batman he traveled around Europe for a year and wrote his first novel, The Point Man. Since then he's designed video games for Atari, Activision, Electronic Arts, and others. He's written animation for Street Fighter and G.I. Joe. He's written mid-grade books for Avon, including the DNAgers series, and Countdown to Flight, a biography of the Wright brothers selected by NASA as the basis for their school programs on the invention of the aeroplane. And he's written more comics, like Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer, which led to the San Diego Comic-Con calling him "comics' most successful writer, having had more hits with more characters at more companies than anyone else in comics history." He created The Night Man, which became a live-action television series.

Most recently, The Point Man has engendered a series of novels from Tor, beginning with The Long Man.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE RE-PRINTED, November 8, 2005
This review is from: Avengers: Vision and the Scarlet Witch (Paperback)
I like that fact that both Marvel and DC are taking the efforts to preserve their long histories by reprinting material from decades past. But this book really can't be considered a classic in any sense of the word. Giant-Size Avengers #4 is from 1975 and was in-between periods when marvel would have "annuals". There was a whole Celestial Madonna saga involving Mantis and Moondragon...names from the past to be sure. This basically wrapped up the celestial Madonna storyline. The Swordsman who had died in GS Avengers #2 now marries Mantis, who is also dead as the Vision proposes and marries the Scarlet Witch with Immortus doing the honors. Not only was the story not good but this time we didn't even get Dave cockrum artwork. We got Don Heck who was one of those awful, old school bullpen artists who managed to maintain his job way too long.

The Vision and Scarlet Witch Limited series from 1982 is better than the lead feature with art by Rick Leonardi and written by Bill Mantlo. All in all this book is nothing to write home about.
