Mark Gruenwald (* 18th June 1953 in Oshkosh , Wisconsin ; † 12. August 1996 ) was a US -American comic author, draftsman and editor.
Life and work
Gruenwald began in the 1970s to publish so-called "comic fanzines", magazines designed by private enthusiasts with background information from the reader's point of view, including the magazine Omniverse .
In 1978 Gruenwald got a job as an assistant editor at Marvel Comics . In 1980 he was promoted to regular editor and in 1989 to executive editor. His main task was to adapt the various comic series of the publisher to their internal and external continuity, i.e. to ensure the continuity of one issue to the previous issues of the same series as well as the issues of other, related series.
As an author, Gruenwald wrote the series Captain America and the official Handbook of the Marvel Universe from 1985 to 1995 . In addition, he wrote from 1989 to 1994 the series Quasar and the twelve-part miniseries Squadron Supreme (1985-1986).
In 1996 Gruenwald died of a heart attack that was the result of a congenital heart defect. Then Gruenwald was cremated, according to his own wishes, and his ashes were added to the ink with which the anthology reprint of the Squadron Supreme was printed.
