Put some respect on Dwayne McDuffie’s name. He is a super legend. He is best known for creating the animated television series Static Shock, writing and producing the animated series’ Justice League Unlimited and Ben 10, and co-founding Milestone Media. McDuffie earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of Michigan in 1983 and attended film school at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. While McDuffie was working as a copy editor at the business magazine Investment Dealers’ Digest, a friend got him an interview for an assistant editor position at Marvel Comics. At Marvel Mr. McDuffie helped develop the company’s first line of superhero trading cards and wrote for established series like Spider-Man and Captain Marvel. He also created Damage Control, a mini-series published at intervals from the late ’80s to the present about a firm that repairs the property damage caused by battles between superheroes and super-villains. However, McDuffie was vocal about the lack of diversity in their comics, especially regarding the curious amount of black characters that rode skateboards or wore chicken suits. In 1990 he left Marvel to pursue freelance opportunities. The company he co-founded, Milestone Media were distributed by DC Comics. His partners were a coalition of African-American artists and writers, consisting of himself, Denys Cowan, Michael Davis, and Derek T. Dingle. Their goal was for Milestone to address the underrepresentation of minorities in American comics, and to create characters that were diverse in their ethnicities, backgrounds and experiences.
