Biography

Breaking into comics

In the early 1990s Slott's entered the comics industry as a college intern at Marvel Comics for (then) editor Fabian Nicieza. Slott had recently graduated from college and had taken the non-paying position, posing as an undergrad, as a way to make contacts and to learn the business of comics. After a few months, Slott was told that Marvel wanted to hire him for a staff position, but only after he finished his college education. Slott admitted he had already graduated and was put on staff full-time. In the following years Slott served as Marvel's art returnist, an assistant editor, and gave guided tours of the offices. During this time, he also worked as both a freelance writer and last-minute colorist. Marvel Comics is an American comic book line published by Marvel Publishing, Inc. ... Cover to New Warriors #1 (July, 1990), one of Niciezas earliest successes. ...


Early writing

Slott's break came when he became the regular writer for Marvel’s Ren and Stimpy comic. Following its success (it consistently placed in the top 50 best-selling comics) he found himself in high demand to write more childrens' comics, including DC’s Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes and Powerpuff Girls, but was eager to show a more serious side in superhero comics. After work on Batman Adventures and Justice League Adventures, Slott was given the chance to pitch a series for DC. The resulting miniseries was Arkham Asylum: Living Hell with artist Ryan Sook in 2003. In 2004 he wrote the 4th Parallel storyline for the Justice League which introduced the Red King; this story was published in 2007 in JLA Classified #32-36.

Work for Marvel

Arkham Asylum's success led to Slott's return to Marvel in 2004 to launch a new She-Hulk series. The title focused on She-Hulk as a "superhuman lawyer" in the bizarre setting of the Marvel Universe and is filled with Dan’s love for (and deep knowledge of) the trivia of Marvel comics. The series was well received by critics and reviewers, developed a cult following, and led to further writing assignments at Marvel. Though well regarded, Marvel felt that the book would perform better if it were placed on hiatus and relaunched with a new #1. After relaunching in October 2005 the second series met with higher sales and recently, after tie-ins with crossover events Civil War and World War Hulk, reached its highest numbers. In 2007 Marvel announced Slott would leave the title as of (volume 2) #21 in order to work on their flagship title Amazing Spider-Man.[1] He will be replaced by Peter David.

During this creative period, Slott signed an exclusive contract with Marvel. He has since returned to the GLA twice, first with the GLX-mas Special over Christmas 2005, following a name change to the Great Lakes X-Men, and latterly in the Deadpool/GLI Summer Fun Spectacular in summer 2007 with co-writer Fabian Nicieza, to coincide with Marvel's Initiative crossover.

At the end of 2005, Slott was assigned to write The Thing's first solo series in 20 years.
