ABOUT THE SPECIAL CONTRIBUTOR

Don McGregor has become one of the foremost writers in comic books today. With almost thirty years of experience in the field, Don incorporates a deep understanding of human nature into his stories, blending humanity with humility and pain with glory. He creates without compromise, making his characters’ heroics poignantly real. Don has an intense desire to know, to dare, and to care about what he writes, and these attributes come through in his passionate style.

After working as a proofreader and eventually editor on several of Marvel Comics B&W line of comic magazines, he was assigned to write the Black Panther Feature in Marvel’s Jungle Action comics. The “Panther’s Rage” series that began in 1973 was the first mainstream comic to feature an essentially all-Black cast of comics, and would later feature prominently in the Black Panther motion picture story. Don created Killmonger together with artist Rich Buckler for “Panther’s Rage” and later Queen Ramonda with artist Gene Colan in “Panther’s Quest.”
