J.M. DeMatteis
J.M. DeMatteis is a writer most closely associated with psychologically driven superhero and fantasy comics of the Copper Age, particularly Kraven's Last Hunt, Moonshadow, Justice League International, and his work on The Spectacular Spider-Man. His name is closely tied to late-1980s and early-1990s keys that collectors use as reference points for darker Spider-Man storytelling, creator-led experimentation in mainstream comics, and character-focused runs with lasting collector interest.
