David, Peter
"Peter Allen David is an American writer, best known for his work in comic books and Star Trek novels. David often joking describes his occupation as ""writer of stuff"".
David is Jewish (a fact he frequently references in his monthly column for the comics industry periodical Comics Buyer's Guide) and lives in New York.
In the early 1980s he worked for Marvel Comics in their sales department under Carol Kalish. While there, he wrote a story for The Spectacular Spider-Man entitled ""The Death of Jean DeWolff"" (illustrated by Rich Buckler), which focused on the death of a supporting character in the Spider-Man continuity and the characters' reactions to it. The story was acclaimed both critically and popularly, and David became the regular writer of The Spectacular Spider-Man for a time.
Soon thereafter he began a lengthy run writing The Incredible Hulk, reviving interest in a flagging title and receiving a great deal of critical praise for his efforts. At some point David left direct employment with Marvel to become a freelance writer.
David is noted for his prolific writing. His writing is characterized by its deft mingling of real world issues with humor and references to popular culture."
