Martin J. Pasko 1954, comic book writer, best known for his work with DC Comics over three decades. He has written Superman in many media, including television animation, webisodes, and a syndicated newspaper strip for Tribune Media, as well as comics. He also co-created the revamp of Doctor Fate that is the basis of the character's current, long-lived incarnation, introducing the concept that the real hero is a Lord of Order who resides in the helmet, and anyone who dons the helmet becomes Doctor Fate. Pasko's first published comics writing credit was for Warren Publishing's Creepy #51 (March 1973). In his first comics-format work for Marvel Comics, Pasko was the regular scripter of that company's Star Trek comic book in 1980–1981. (He was also a writer of the Star Trek comic strip from late 1982 through early 1983.) In 1988, Pasko also wrote an issue of the DC Star Trek comic book. In the early '80s, Pasko wrote a number of issues of the First Comics version of Joe Staton's E-Man. In 1982, Pasko helped revive Swamp Thing, in a new title called Saga of the Swamp Thing. Pasko left Swamp Thing in 1984, succeeded by Alan Moore, who took the title and the character in a different direction. Pasko began a long career in television animation in 1980, writing several episodes of the cult classic Thundarr the Barbarian and co-creating Mister T with Steve Gerber and Jack Kirby. Pasko's many other TV writing credits comprise animated series like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Exosquad, Teen Wolf, Berenstain Bears, G.I. Joe and My Little Pony.
