Bagley returned to Marvel and worked on Avengers Assemble, All-New X-Men, The Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Venom.

Sam de la Rosa, currently drawing covers for Marvel and other publishers, is best known for his work on the fan-favorite Venom series Lethal Protector and Separation Anxiety. His start, however, was at DC Comics, where he worked on titles like Action Comics, Green Lantern and World’s Finest.

Some of the many comic titles he has worked on include The Amazing Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Avengers, Web of Spider-Man, House of Mystery, Star Wars, Action Comics and Marvel Team-Up.

He then joined Marvel Comics, where he is best known for his work on series such as Captain Marvel, Marvel Fanfare, The Avengers, The West Coast Avengers, Secret Wars, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Spectacular Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and many more. During his time with DC Comics, Milgrom co-created the character Firestorm and worked on series like Detective Comics, The Superman Family and Strange Adventures. Some of his most recent work has been for Archie Comics, where he has worked on titles like Archie, Archie’s Double Digest, Betty & Veronica and Betty & Veronica Double Digest.

Tom DeFalco joined the comic book industry in 1972 and has written comics starring Spider-Man, Spider-Girl, Spider-Ham, Fantastic Four, Thor, Superman, Superboy, The Flintstones and Archie. He has also produced Spider-Man: The Ultimate Guide and Comic Creators on Spider-Man.

Rick Parker is a cartoonist best known for his work as the artist of the MTV Beavis and Butt-Head comic book series published by Marvel Comics. He was also the letterer for more than 1,200 comic books for Marvel (Spider-Man, Hulk, Captain America, Star Wars, Iron Man, G.I. Joe and many others).
