J.M. DeMatteis was a music critic but gave it up for becoming an
award-winning writer best known for his personal works such as
Moonshadow and BROOKLYN DREAMS. He began writing for DC in the late
1970s and rose to prominence with characters such as the JUSTICE
LEAGUE revamp of the 1980s, a franchise that earned him an Eisner
Award in 2004 for Best Humor Publication. He has written every
major character at DC and Marvel, using that experience for a
successful foray into animation writing including episodes of
Justice League Unlimited and Batman- the Brave and the Bold.
Robert Kanigher has long been recognized as one of the most
prolific and innovative writers and editors in the comic book
industry. Since the 1940s, Kanigher wrote and/or created more
characters than nearly anybody else in the field, including Batman,
Blue Beetle, Steel Sterling, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, the
Flash, Sgt. Rock, the Haunted Tank, Wonder Woman, Lois Lane and
innumerable war, horror and romance scripts. Kanigher scripted the
Silver Age Flash's origin story in Showcase #4 and contributed
several more tales to his subsequent Showcase appearances before
finally returning to the character for an extended run as regular
writer on The Flash in 1970.
