Bill Mantlo began his Marvel career on Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, in
which he introduced White Tiger, one of the industry’s earliest
Hispanic super heroes. Eventually writing stories for almost every
Marvel title, he did some of his most fondly remembered work on
Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man. He also launched Cloak
and Dagger in a pair of miniseries and guided Alpha Flight through
some of its most harrowing ordeals. Mantlo excelled at integrating
licensed properties into the Marvel Universe, as demonstrated by
Micronauts and Rom: Spaceknight, both of which he wrote from start
to finish. At DC, he wrote the Invasion miniseries for one of the
company’s biggest crossover events.
After a start as inker to his older brother John, Sal Buscema
penciled Captain America, Defenders, Incredible Hulk and more.
Famed for his ability to meet tight deadlines, he spread his
talents across multiple genres. His 1970s work ranged from Ms.
Marvel and Nova to Sub-Mariner and Spider-Woman’s first appearance
in Marvel Spotlight. He was the uninterrupted artist on Spectacular
Spider-Man for more than one hundred issues and penciled the
web-slinger’s adventures in Marvel Team-Up, in which he and writer
Bill Mantlo introduced Captain Jean DeWolff. After handling more
team-ups in the Thing’s Marvel Two-in-One, he reunited with brother
John on Steve Englehart’s Fantastic Four. He later provided inks
for Tom DeFalco’s Spider-Girl titles and Thunderstrike miniseries.
