  Steve Englehart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Englehart (born April 22, 1947, Indianapolis, Indiana) is an American comic book writer best known for his work for Marvel Comics and DC Comics, particularly in the 1970s.
Englehart also wrote The Avengers from 1972 to 1976, and had a brief but potent run on Doctor Strange (originally with artist Frank Brunner, later with Gene Colan), in which Strange's mentor, the Ancient One, died, and Strange became the new Sorcerer Supreme.
Englehart notably reconciled the existence of Captain America and sidekick Bucky in Marvel's 1950s precursor, Atlas Comics, an anomaly that had previously been ignored since Cap's 1964 reintroduction to Marvel, in which his newly-retconned history stated that he had been in suspended animation since the end of World War II, when Bucky had been killed.

 Steve Gerber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was among the 1970s wave of writers such as Steve Englehart, Don McGregor and Doug Moench who took often minor characters and helped create a writerly Renaissance.
Steve Gerber is noted for his memorable supporting or guest characters who become cult favorites in their own right.
His best-known are probably Everyman Richard Rory, who has appeared off and on in most of the Gerber books, and the Foolkiller, a psychopathic vigilante who inspired several different individuals to adopt his identity over the years and acquired his own 10-issue limited series in 1990.

 DOING COMICS THE STAINLESS STEVE ENGLEHART WAY:
Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby are masters of nearly every genre of sequential graphic melodrama, but they invented their own individual and unique visual styles for the particular form of superhero comics, and even so, Ditko was only commercially successful in a relatively few places and with a relatively few characters.
Steve Englehart, as far as I can tell from reading these interviews, is a rather arrogant and not overwhelmingly affable man, yet in our infrequent email contacts he's always been perfectly courteous to me, a mere nobody and one of doubtless thousands of admirers he's had contact with over the years.
Englehart, according to Conway, is a lying fuck, a piece of shit, and he's never been the same sweet, affable fellow since he first discovered acid, and all this is simply a sampling of the vitriolic abuse Conway heaps on Englehart's head throughout the several thousand words of his rants...

 Englehart, Steve
Englehart's first work in comics was as an art assistant to Neal Adams on Vampirella Vol.
Englehart, audaciously, also created a multi-issue storyline in which a sorcerer named Sise-neg ("Genesis" spelled backward) goes back through history, collecting all magical energies, until he reaches the beginning of all and discovers he is God.
Englehart returned to mainstream comics at Marvel and DC in the mid-1980s, with stints on West Coast Avengers, the second Vision and the Scarlet Witch miniseries (with artist Richard Howell), The Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer and Green Lantern.

 FANBOY PLANET.com .: js-50sCap :.
When writer Steve Englehart assumed the reins of the title in mid-1972, the United States was trapped in a seemingly endless war in Vietnam that divided the American people.
Instead of having Cap be a living paragon of American hegemony, Englehart depicted a man of his times, full of questions about America's future, a man who saw it as his patriotic duty to question his role in the deep splits that defined America in the early '70s.
Englehart would later explore the Watergate scandal in a fictionalized form when President Nixon is revealed to be the ringleader of an evil organization called The Order.

 Alphabetti Fumetti: E is for Ellis
Englehart is the classic example of a talented creator whose fall from favour saw him drop off the radar almost entirely, only to occasionally resurface in discussions of old superhero runs.
Englehart took on the writing chores on DEFENDERS, and the stories that he produced there are remembered firstly for being great superhero yarns, and secondly for being absolutely mental.
Englehart now works mainly outside of comics, with several novels and computer games under his belt, and stands as a warning to today's hot creators: the comics industry can play favourites, but it can also forget you in a moment.

 FFPlaza.com Articles: Steve Englehart Open Letter
Steve Englehart wrote the Fantastic Four from #304 to #325 and continued through to #333 under the name John Harkness.
This was an open letter from Steve Englehart, originally published in the letters column of Amazing Heroes #175, January 1990.
See, after I took on the "John Harkness" pseudonym fo rthe FF, I needed a nickname, and since as Steve I was called "Stainless," I thought for "John" I should be "Janeless." But Tom had that nickname cut from every script because, he said, "Janeless" is obscene.

 The American Spectator
Englehart's workload in those days, it's not in itself surprising that a single issue of a single title should slip his mind.
Between my own thirty-year-old memories and Englehart's official gallery of every comic he ever wrote, I estimate him as writing five comic issues a month in 1973, and that's probably missing one or two.
Just as Steve Englehart wrote a lot of comics that faded from memory, I've read a lot of comics that faded from memory.

 Comic Book Resources - CBR News - The Comic Wire
Steve Englehart: Yeah, I'm getting a real sense that the break between the way we learned to do comics in the '70s and the way they're done now is causing a lot of people to want the earlier approach.
Steve Englehart: We came in when comics were on their way to their peak, we learned from masters, there were still greats from earlier eras alive...so we put together a pretty good package of skills and knowledge.
Steve Englehart: I might add, I proposed to DC recently that the 4th world is supposed to be a great thing, and yet nobody really believes it is, so there it sits, godlike and untouchable, but shunned as well.

Longtime comics writer Steve Englehart, most recently the writer of the current Batman: Dark Detective miniseries, is writing a story arc for JLA Classified.

Englehart promises that the story will do more for the characters than ever has been done with them before, including coming to terms with their reputation."In this one, people really do say [to the characters] 'You guys are really lame!' and they worry about that; that they're not good enough."

Writer Steve Englehart was another one of those names you never heard a lot about..however they were the mainstay at Marvel in the 70's...
And Englehart inflicted Loki with a strange case of Norse ebonics throughout, whereupon he would moan such ignominy as "I be blind!" But overall, it was a real hoot to read this trade, and would highly recommend it for fans of Avengers, Defenders, Marvel comics, and team comics in general.
With Englehart at the typewriter, the Avengers were THE supergroup of the 70s, and this book is a great example of that.

Rogers added: “When Englehart and I sat down to talk over the character, we couldn't define him as anything more than a generic cowboy with a mask and a "Clark Kent" complex.
Steve then defined him in greater depth to write the story and he will be better able to describe the character now.

 ART & ARTIFICE - Marshall Rogers and Steve Englehart
Steve Englehart has written a frankly romantic tale, more or less like the original romance of his and Rogers run together in Detective Comics in 1977-78.
The 2005 version is a reiteration of the same delimma, however Englehart and Rogers have concieved complications in which The Joker is running a crazed parallel political campaign to become governor against Silver St. Cloud's boyfriend Evan Gregory.
The Joker promptly makes his appearance, and like the 1970s Englehart version he is still one part Marx Brothers and one part homicidal maniac.

 Captain Comics Round Table > Steve Englehart’s Coyote   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Englehart was also doing other more mainstream superhero writing for both of the “Big Two” at this time, but Coyote would prove to be stylistically different on all levels, most especially language and subject matter.
Stan, Jack and Steve were all veterans even then (as Englehart was at the time of Coyote), and characters such as Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four were as different from the norm in the early ‘60s as Coyote was in the early ‘80s.
Steve Englehart took characters developed separately, introduced them in Coyote, developed them in back-up features, and crssed the characters back and forth between back-up and main features.

Steve's stuff was the first Captain America stuff I read growing up and I'm sure that has a lot to do with it, but him and Sal Buscema were to me, the best Cap team ever, seconded probably only by Stern and Byrne.
It doesn't mean I'll be doing the book anything remotely like Steve Englehart, but I don't think there's any similarity in the way we're going to approach it, but that's certainly defined Captain America for me.
I mean think that as I say, for all the reverence I have for Steve Englehart's version of the character, my Captain America won't be doing a whole lot of speechifyin'.

Combined with Englehart's prominent scribing, their depiction of Bruce Wayne is simply not a facade for the Dark Knight.
Englehart strongly emphasizes the man behind the mask without resorting to poorly personifying psycho babble melodrama that has been so prominent since Jim Starlin's departure from the Batman title in 1989.
Englehart, Wein and Rogers' offering to the character's mythos and storytelling standards which left its mark on the Batman legacy may be occasionally equalled but rarely surpassed.

What he thought was deep is barely scratching the surface, though, and by the time this latest adventure is are over, he's raced the ghost of James Dean, fought the legendary X-Caliber, spooked the Dark Cardinal and had half his brain removed by a Venusian.
This goofy, charming series about a naïve trickster god in the Nevada desert was a pioneer not only as a creator-owned comic, but also as the first (pre-dating Grant Morrison's Animal Man by several years) to have environmental concerns at the heart of the book.
