Peter B. Gillis began as a 1970s freelancer on Marvel Two-in-One, Super-Villain Team-Up and other titles. Later, he became regular writer on Defenders, Eternals and Strange Tales, in which he subjected Doctor Strange to a soul-searching gamut of good and evil magic. Elsewhere in the Marvel multiverse, he wrote Micronauts: The New Voyages and launched Strikeforce: Morituri with Brent Anderson, telling tales of a universe in which superhumans must embrace death to protect the Earth. He has also written for First Comics, TSR Games and others; he co-created Shatter, the first digital comic.

Active since the late 1970s, Brent Anderson drew Marvel’s Ka-Zar the Savage series and a memorable Marvel Graphic Novel in 1982 featuring the X-Men story “God Loves, Man Kills.” He later co-created Marvel’s Strikeforce: Morituri, and is perhaps best known for co-creating the acclaimed Astro City series with Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross. Anderson’s many Marvel credits include Marvel Comics Super Special (Xanadu), Moon Knight and The Pulse.
