Marv Wolfman - Writer

CONvergence is pleased to welcome writer Marv Wolfman as a Guest of Honor at CONvergence 2005.

Marv Wolfman has created legions of characters for comics, many of which have found their way to television and the silver screen. Marv is the co-creator of The New Teen Titans, including its characters Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Slade, and he transformed Dick Grayson from Robin into Nightwing. He also created the ever-popular Blade during his lengthy run on Marvel’s Tomb of Dracula series, a character soon to be seen in his third feature film starring Wesley Snipes. The Daredevil villain Bullseye was another creation of Marv’s who found his way into that hero’s first feature film adventure.

Marv was the architect of DC Comic’s pivotal Crisis on Infinite Earths, which rewrote the continuity of the DC Universe. In the aftermath of that series, Marv re-invented Lex Luthor as a tycoon and a member of the power elite, whose criminal endeavors remain secretive and unproven. This version of Luthor was the template for the character as seen on television in Lois and Clark, Superman: The Animated Series, and Smallville.

Marv has also been Editor-in-Chief at Marvel Comics, senior editor at DC Comics, and founding editor of Disney Adventures magazine. He has written dozens of animated TV episodes, as well as developed and story-edited the animated series The Transformers, The Adventures of Superman, and Monster Force. Marv, along with partner Craig Miller, co-created, story-edited, and was co-Executive Producer of Pocket Dragon Adventures, a 52-episode animated series appearing on the Bohbot TV network.
