Roger Stern
Roger Stern is a Bronze-to-Copper Age writer best known for his runs on Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, Doctor Strange, and Superman, where his plotting and long-form character work became closely associated with 1980s mainstream superhero comics. His name is often linked by collectors to the Hobgoblin era of Spider-Man, durable Avengers keys, and a group of late Bronze and early Copper books that serve as reference points for sustained writer-driven collector interest.
