Christopher Priest

Christopher Priest arrived at Marvel in the late ’70s, serving as an assistant editor and later editor under Jim Shooter. It wasn’t long before he made his mark with the company as a writer, with long runs on Conan the Barbarian and Power Man and Iron Fist. His move to DC Comics led to him join a collective of African American creators on the Milestone imprint. Later, it was his revival of Black Panther at Marvel Knights that rejuvenated the character in a way that set the stage for a cinematic depiction that took the world by storm.
