Encyclopedia > David Michelinie

David Michelinie is an American comic book writer.


His most famous works include a noted run on the Iron Man series in the early 1980s which introduced the character's serious problem with alcoholism, his specialized power armor variants and his new enmities with Justin Hammer and Victor Von Doom. His most noted cliffhanger was when Tony Stark was thrown out of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s helicarrier and had to don his armor completely to use its flight function before he hit the ground.


In the late 1980s, he also wrote a popular run on The Amazing Spider-Man series which featured the art of Todd McFarlane and introduced the popular supervillain Venom.

NEWSARAMA - JOE CASEY-A-RAMA: DAVID MICHELINIE (2091 words)
David Michelinie and Bob Layton's first run on Iron Man is one of the main reasons I'm a comic reader.
Michelinie was ahead of his time with some of his classic runs esp. Iron Man. I never particulary cared for Iron Man and Tony Stark.
Michelinie started his Avengers run so his work was a major influence on what I feel a super-hero comic should be.
NEWSARAMA (3414 words)
DAVID MICHELINIE:  Well, you pretty much hit the nail on the head when you used the word, “entertain.” I’m not a terribly deep thinker, and I’ve never really had any interest in revealing Great Truths or imparting my hard-earned but spotty wisdom to others.
MICHELINIE:  Writing comics was very difficult for me to learn, and I didn’t start feeling comfortable with it until I’d been making a living at it for a couple of years.
MICHELINIE:  As I remember it, Mark Gruenwald was looking for new personnel to take over Iron Man, and he called Bob and I individually to see if either of us would be interested.
