| Kurt Busiek |
He's writing his own creator-owned series, Astro City, the
two longtime Marvel series he's always wanted to write, Iron
Man and Avengers, and his co-creation Thunderbolts, and he's
working with a wealth of talent including Brent Anderson, Alex
Ross, George Perez, Sean Chen, Mark Bagley, Carlos Pacheco and
others. If he has a dazed look on his face when you see him,
it's either bafflement at his good fortune or exhaustion at
all the deadlines that these projects entail.
Kurt started writing comics in 1982, with backup stories in
Green Lantern and fill-in issues of Power Man And Iron Fist,
and worked his way through a decade on fill-ins, one-shots and
short runs on such series as Red Tornado, Liberty Project, Vampirella,
TeenAgents, Valor and Night Thrasher. His breakthrough series
was the award-winning 1993 Marvels mini-series, which he did
with painter Alex Ross. Since then, in addition to the above,
he's written such books as Untold Tales of Spider-Man, Amazing
Fantasy, Elvira and Ninjak. Kurt lives in the vast Pacific Northwest
with his wife, Ann, and their faithful Welsh corgi Hector. He
considers himself a ridiculously lucky man. (1998 DragonCon
