In addition to runs on Fantastic Four and Thor, original Moon
Knight scribe Doug Moench specialized in writing features outside
the Marvel mainstream - including Adventure into Fear's Morbius,
Frankenstein, Inhumans, Ka-Zar- Lord of the Hidden Jungle, Master
of Kung Fu, Werewolf by Night and Astonishing Tales' Deathlok.
Proving his eclectic abilities, he also wrote the full run of
Godzilla, most of Shogun Warriors and stories for virtually every
Marvel black-and-white magazine of the 1970s. He expanded on his
Star-Lord and Weirdworld sagas in multiple anthology titles. At DC,
he wrote memorable runs on Batman, Detective Comics and Legends of
the Dark Knight - along with numerous Batman one-shots,
cross-company crossovers and Elseworlds sagas. He further
contributed such short-lived but unique series as Electric Warrior,
Lords of the Ultra-Realm, Slash Maraud, Wanderers and
Xenobrood.
One of the Golden Age's earliest talents, George Tuska (1916-2009)
created characters for Fiction House, Harvey Comics and Fawcett
Comics' Captain Marvel Adventures, among many others. He helped
launch one of the most popular post-war genres in Lev Gleason's
Crime Does Not Pay. He eventually provided multi-genre art for
Atlas Comics, to which he returned following its transformation
into Marvel. Tuska penciled Ghost Rider, Luke Cage- Power Man and
Sub-Mariner, as well as a 10-year Iron Man stint. At DC, he
illustrated Challengers of the Unknown and Superman, among others.
As a comic-strip artist, Tuska drew Buck Rogers, Scorchy Smith and
DC's World's Greatest Superheroes. His final industry work was
cover art for Masquerade, part of Dynamite's Golden Age character
revival, bringing him full circle.
Alfredo Alcala (1925-2000) earned stardom in the Philippines'
comic-book industry with his 1963 series Voltar. Following stints
at DC Comics and Warren Publishing, he moved to Marvel and penciled
runs of Conan the Barbarian, Star Wars and other licensed titles.
After success in film animation and novel illustration, Alcala
returned to comics during the 1990s, working in several genres.
