Roger Stern Biography

Roger Stern is one of the most popular and richest Comics Artist who was born on September 17, 1950 in Noblesville, Indiana, United States. Roger Stern, born September 17, 1950 in Noblesville (Indiana), is an American comic author and novelist.

After a dispute over future storylines with Mark Gruenwald, Stern was fired as editor of The Avengers in 1987. In 1987, Stern began freelance work for DC Comics. He was a core Superman writer for nearly ten years, and worked on Superman (vol. He was a freelancer for DC Comics. His contributions to stories like “Panic in the Sky”, and “The Death of Superman” revived the interest in the character in the 1990s. In Action Comics Annual #2, he created the Eradicator and then incorporated the character in the “Reign of the Supermen”, story arc that began in The Adventures of Superman #500. Stern was the one who wrote the 1991 story in which Clark Kent revealed his identity to Lois Lane as Superman. Stern and Tom Grummett co-created a new quarterly series called Superman: The Man of Tomorrow in Summer 1995. Stern was also a creator of Superman: The Wedding Album, a 1996 one-shot that featured Lois Lane’s marriage to Stern. Stern, along with Tom McCraw, wrote Legionnaires between 1996 and 1999. Dwayne Turner drew the Atom series again, and Tom Lyle co- created the Will Payton Starman version.

In 1996, Stern returned to Marvel to write the miniseries Spider-Man: Hobgoblin Lives, and contributed to three issues of Spectacular Spider-Man in 1998 which featured the first confrontation between Norman Osborn and Roderick Kingsley. Over the next four years, he wrote the short-lived Marvel Universe series, as well as such miniseries as Avengers Two, Avengers Infinity, and Spider-Man: Revenge of the Green Goblin. Stern collaborated with Avengers writer Kurt Busiek on Iron Man and the miniseries Avengers Forever, and with John Byrne on Marvel: The Lost Generation.

After a major editorial shuffle at Marvel in 2000 left him without assignments, Stern began writing for European publisher Egmont, for whom he produced scripts for Fantomen (The Phantom), and Panini UK, for whose Marvel Rampage magazine he wrote Spider-Man and Hulk stories. Stern and Busiek co- wrote the Darkman vs. Army of Darkness limited series which was drawn by artist James Fry and published by Dynamite Entertainment. In 2007, Stern wrote an issue of The All-New Atom and reunited with Byrne to produce a five-issue story arc for JLA Classified for DC.

Stern and Bob Layton created the fanzine CPL (Contemporary Pictorial Literature) in the 1970s. This was one of the first platforms to showcase John Byrne’s work. CPL quickly became a fan magazine and the two formed an alliance with Charlton Comics in order to publish and produce “Charlton Bullseye”. In the mid-1970s both Marvel and DC published in-house fan publications (FOOM, The Amazing World of DC Comics) and Charlton wanted to “establish an audience” and make inroads in the superhero market. This led to Charlton’s alliance with CPL to create the Charlton Bullseye. Charlton gave Stern and Layton “access to unpublished material” from their vaults, including the work of Jeff Jones, Steve Ditko and many others.

Stern entered the industry in 1975 as a writer as part of the Marvel Comics’ “third wave” creators. This included Frank Miller and John Byrne, as well as Ralph Macchio, Jo Duffy and Mark Gruenwald. Stern was an editor from 1976 until 1980. Jim Shooter claims Stern was a ghostwriter and co-plotted his final stories for DC Comics in 1976. Stern was the author of the 1977 Marvel Presents #10-12 “Guardians of the Galaxy” feature. Byrne briefly worked with Stern on Captain America. They produced a story in which Captain America thought about running for President of the United States. This idea was originally created by Roger McKenzie, Don Perlin and others. Stern was the editor of the title and had initially rejected the idea, but later changed his mind. Stern insisted that McKenzie and Perlin be given credit for the letter page idea. Stern was the author of The Spectacular Spider-Man issue #43 (June 1980). The Amazing Spider-Man was then taken over by Stern with issue #224 (January 1982). Stern is also known for his long stints as a Doctor Strange and The Avengers writer. Stern co-created Marvel’s second Captain Marvel and Hobgoblin in 1982 with John Romita Jr., a story that ranks among his best- loved. Stern’s run with Amazing Spider-Man #250 ended in March 1984, mainly because he had difficulty communicating with Danny Fingeroth, the new Spider- Man editor. He co-created The West Coast Avengers with Bob Hall later that year.

In addition to his comics work, Stern has written three novels: The Death and Life of Superman (Bantam Books, 1993), Smallville: Strange Visitors (Warner Books, 2002), and Superman: The Never-Ending Battle (Pocket Books, 2005). The Death and Life of Superman was a New York Times bestseller in hardcover and was released as a mass market paperback in 1994; a new trade paperback edition was released by Barnes & Noble in 2004.
