Ed Hannigan (born August 6,[1] 1951)[2] is an American writer, artist, and editor of comic books for both Marvel Comics and DC Comics.[3]
Career
Ed Hannigan's first credited comics story was published in Marvel Comics' licensed Planet of the Apes #5 (Feb. 1975).[4] His most notable writing credits include work on The Defenders from issue #70 (April 1979) to #91 (Jan. 1981).[5] As the artist on The Spectacular Spider-Man, Hannigan co-created the characters Cloak and Dagger.[6]
At DC Comics, Hannigan redesigned the Brainiac character into a chromed, more robotic form.[7][8] He pencilled the covers on Batman in a lengthy run that spanned the majority of 1983–1985 with Don Newton providing the interior art. Hannigan and writer Mike Grell launched the first Green Arrow ongoing series in February 1988.[9] The Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight series began in November 1989 with the five-part "Shaman" storyline by Hannigan and writer Dennis O'Neil.[10] He both wrote and illustrated the three-issue prestige format series Skull & Bones for DC in 1992.
Hannigan and his wife Heidi are the parents of Jean Anne, born in 1989.[11]
In January 2010, Marvel Comics and The Hero Initiative published Ed Hannigan: Covered a fundraising effort to assist with Hannigan's medical expenses due to multiple sclerosis.[2]
