Archie Goodwin was born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1937. In 1964,
he went to work for Warren Publishing, where he became the head
scriptwriter and eventually rose to the position of
Editor-in-Chief. From the late 1960s until the late 1980s Goodwin
moved back and forth between Marvel, DC Comics, and Warren, with
occasional sojourns elsewhere. He helmed the launch of Epic
Illustrated and was the Editor-in-Chief at Marvel from 1976 until
1978. He was inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame in 1998.
Al Williamson was born in New York City in 1931 and raised in
Bogota, Colombia. After returning to New York, he studied at the
Cartoonists and Illustrators School (later to become the School of
Visual Arts), and in 1948, at the tender age of seventeen, embarked
on a career in comics. He worked for several publishers, most
notably EC Comics, the premier publisher of the early-to-mid-1950s.
In 1966, Williamson realized a lifelong dream when he was chosen to
illustrate a comic book version of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon. In
the mid-1980s he would go on to win numerous Harvey and Eisner
Awards.
