A native New Yorker, writer J.M. DeMatteis has been one of comics' most respected writers for nearly three decades. Ranging from the introspective psychological drama of Moonshadow to the offbeat comedy of Justice League to the autobiographical Brooklyn Dreams, he's written from nearly every perspective in graphic storytelling. His long list of credits includes Captain America, Defenders, Justice League International, the groundbreaking Spider-Man storyline "Kraven's Last Hunt," Spectre and more. His recent work includes the acclaimed children's novel Imaginalis and the popular comics-prose hybrid Abadazad books.

Mike Zeck regularly drew Master of Kung Fu, Power Man and Iron Fist, Spectacular Spider-Man and other hits of the late 1970s. He joined J.M. DeMatteis on a remarkable Captain America run, reviving Baron Zemo, Nomad and Deathlok. In Secret Wars, he helped introduce the alien costume that eventually became a component of Venom; reuniting with DeMatteis, he drew the groundbreaking "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline for the Spider-Man titles. He has also drawn DC's Aquaman, Green Lantern, Lobo and others.
