Writer of Stuff.
Peter Allen David (often abbreviated [=PAD=]) is a contemporary American writer, known for his work in ComicBooks and ''Franchise/StarTrek'' novels, as well as in television, movies, and video games.
While serving as a Direct Sales Manager for Marvel Comics, his professional writing career began when he was hired to write ''[[{{Comicbook/SpiderMan}} The Spectacular Spider-Man]]''. After a brief but stormy tenure that included the famous "Death of Jean [=DeWolff=]" storyline (his first story, in fact), he was assigned full time to write ''[[{{Comicbook/IncredibleHulk}} The Incredible Hulk]]'', a flagging title that no one else wanted. David turned the title around and largely redefined the character in an impressive ten-year-run that ended only due to a WriterRevolt from excessive ExecutiveMeddling.
[=PAD's=] success with ''[[{{Comicbook/IncredibleHulk}} The Incredible Hulk]]'' led him to [[AscendedFanboy take up writing full-time]], first for a variety of comic book titles, and later expanding to other works and media. His original creations include the comic books ''Sachs And Violens'', ''ComicBook/FallenAngel'', ''Soulsearchers and Company'', and ''[[{{Marvel2099}} Spider-Man 2099]]'', the ''Literature/StarTrekNewFrontier'' series, the ''Literature/SirAproposOfNothing'' novels, and the ''Series/SpaceCases'' television show. He also writes "But I Digress", a regular column for Comics Buyer's Guide magazine.
Peter David's writing style tends to be breezy yet subtle; he has satirically mocked it as "a certain facility with the language, giving a nice surface gloss to his work." His strengths come from his character dynamics and humor, and his strongest works tend to be ensemble titles where the characters can play off of each other. His humor tends towards DoubleEntendre, WittyBanter, [[HurricaneOfPuns lots of puns]], [[WildCard unpredictable characters]] and LeaningOnTheFourthWall. As OneOfUs, [=PAD=] is also fond of GenreSavvy and MediumAwareness characters, as they allow him to further play with [[Wiki/TVTropes tropes]] and stereotypes; his most famous example was turning Creator/MarvelComics' perpetual sidekick Rick Jones into a CrazyPrepared GenreSavvy BadassNormal.
He is occasionally alleged to have ongoing feuds with other comic book creators, most notably Creator/JohnByrne and Erik Larsen, though David denies any ill-will and tends to keep his criticisms professional and constructive. Then again, [=PAD=] is a longtime friend of Creator/HarlanEllison, so maybe some of it is rubbing off...
Particularly infamous among scans_daily for, probably not indirectly, getting their original Website/LiveJournal base shut down. Posting any of his work there is now forbidden by community consensus. Somewhat ironic, considering how popular his ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'' book is with the members.
His [[LineToGod website]] is [[http://www.peterdavid.net/ http://www.peterdavid.net/]]
David suffered a stroke in late 2012, but is recovering.

-->-- ''The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'' #375
Writer of Stuff.
Peter Allen David (often abbreviated [=PAD=]) is a contemporary American writer, known for his work in ComicBooks and ''Franchise/StarTrek'' novels, as well as in television, movies, and video games.
While serving as a Direct Sales Manager for Marvel Comics, his professional writing career began when he was hired to write ''[[{{Comicbook/SpiderMan}} The Spectacular Spider-Man]]''. After a brief but stormy tenure that included the famous "Death of Jean [=DeWolff=]" storyline (his first story, in fact), he was assigned full time to write ''[[{{Comicbook/IncredibleHulk}} The Incredible Hulk]]'', a flagging title that no one else wanted. David turned the title around and largely redefined the character in an impressive ten-year-run that ended only due to a WriterRevolt from excessive ExecutiveMeddling.
[=PAD's=] success with ''[[{{Comicbook/IncredibleHulk}} The Incredible Hulk]]'' led him to [[AscendedFanboy take up writing full-time]], first for a variety of comic book titles, and later expanding to other works and media. His original creations include the comic books ''Sachs And Violens'', ''ComicBook/FallenAngel'', ''Soulsearchers and Company'', and ''[[{{Marvel2099}} Spider-Man 2099]]'', the ''Literature/StarTrekNewFrontier'' series, the ''Literature/SirAproposOfNothing'' novels, and the ''Series/SpaceCases'' television show. He also writes "But I Digress", a regular column for Comics Buyer's Guide magazine.
Peter David's writing style tends to be breezy yet subtle; he has satirically mocked it as "a certain facility with the language, giving a nice surface gloss to his work." His strengths come from his character dynamics and humor, and his strongest works tend to be ensemble titles where the characters can play off of each other. His humor tends towards DoubleEntendre, WittyBanter, [[HurricaneOfPuns lots of puns]], [[WildCard unpredictable characters]] and LeaningOnTheFourthWall. As OneOfUs, [=PAD=] is also fond of GenreSavvy and MediumAwareness characters, as they allow him to further play with [[Wiki/TVTropes tropes]] and stereotypes; his most famous example was turning Creator/MarvelComics' perpetual sidekick Rick Jones into a CrazyPrepared GenreSavvy BadassNormal.
He is occasionally alleged to have ongoing feuds with other comic book creators, most notably Creator/JohnByrne and Erik Larsen, though David denies any ill-will and tends to keep his criticisms professional and constructive. Then again, [=PAD=] is a longtime friend of Creator/HarlanEllison, so maybe some of it is rubbing off...
Particularly infamous among scans_daily for, probably not indirectly, getting their original Website/LiveJournal base shut down. Posting any of his work there is now forbidden by community consensus. Somewhat ironic, considering how popular his ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'' book is with the members.
His [[LineToGod website]] is [[http://www.peterdavid.net/ http://www.peterdavid.net/]]
David suffered a stroke in late 2012, but is recovering.
