About the Author

Dan Slott has built a loyal fan base by combining old-school fun with stories and characterisations friendly to new readers. Following a run on SHE-HULK - which combined his sly humour and encyclopaedic Marvel knowledge with an imaginative take on a comic-book law firm - Slott moved into the upper echelon of Marvel writers, launching AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE and taking the reins on MIGHTY AVENGERS from Brain Michael Bendis. When Marvel gave Spider-Man a fresh start in 2008, Slott was one of several rotating writers on a thrice-monthly AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Through three years and a hundred issues, Slott became the writer most closely identified with the web-slinger's 'Brand New Day' era. Amazing hit the 'Big Time' when Slott took over as full-time writer, chronicling a new chapter in the life of Peter Parker with artists such as Humberto Ramos, Stefano Caselli and Marcos Martin.
