After briefly serving as a member of the Crusty Bunkers, Englehart started working as a full-time writer.

Career Marvel Comics Įnglehart's first work in comics was as an art assistant to Neal Adams on a 10-page story by writer Denny O'Neil in Warren Publishing's black-and-white horror comics magazine Vampirella #10 (March 1971). He had served in the United States Army, but was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War. Steve Englehart majored in psychology at Wesleyan University, where he was a member of The Kappa Alpha Society, earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1969. His pseudonyms have included John Harkness and Cliff Garnett. He is best known for his work at Marvel Comics and DC Comics in the 1970s and 1980s. Once enough time went past, Englehart stopped relying on comic book history quite as much.Steve Englehart ( / ˈ ɛ ŋ əl h ɑːr t/ born April 22, 1947) is an American writer of comic books and novels. I believe Englehart has even explained the difference over the years, noting that it was a lot different when "comic book history" meant AT MOST thirty-five/forty years, but more normally was just the past decade or so. However, in the early days of his career, there was a comic book writer who was well known for plumbing the depths of obscure comic book history who is not really known for that sort of thing anymore and that is Steve Englehart. Roy Thomas, of course, is perhaps one of THE most famous comic book writers when it comes to attention to comic book continuity. Nowadays, there are comic book writers who are famous for their use of continuity in their comic books. It's just not one of the five examples that I chose. So no instance is "missing" if it is not listed. They are a list of five examples (occasionally I'll be nice and toss in a sixth). Note that these lists are inherently not exhaustive. In Drawing Crazy Patterns, I spotlight at least five scenes/moments from within comic book stories that fit under a specific theme (basically, stuff that happens frequently in comics).
