| 3 | Doug Moench (born February 23, 1948) is a prolific American comic book writer and author well known for his work on ComicBook/{{Batman}}, as well as co-creating ComicBook/MoonKnight and ComicBook/{{Deathlok}}. He also had an extensive run on the first ComicBook/ShangChi series, ''ComicBook/MasterOfKungFu''. |

| 5 | Moench was born in Chicago, Illinois, and worked on both writing comics (his first stories were in ''Eerie'' #29 and ''Vampirella'' #7) and articles for the Chicago Sun-Times. In 1973, he moved to New York City, where he began working for Creator/MarvelComics. His first work for Marvel was ''Chamber of Chills'' #7 in November 1973 and, in the following year, he became the lead writer for Marvel's black-and-white imprint Curtis Magazines. In addition, he began writing ''ComicBook/WerewolfByNight'', where he introduced the character ComicBook/MoonKnight alongside artist Don Perlin. He also followed up Steve Englehart on ''Master of Kung Fu'', a book he would continue to write for eight years alongside artist Paul Gulacy. In ''Astonishing Tales'', he and artist Rich Buckler created the cyborg-from-the-future Deathlok the Demolisher. |

| 7 | In August 1982, Moench left Marvel over disagreements with Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter and went to Franchise/DCComics instead. From 1983 to 1986, he wrote ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' and ''ComicBook/DetectiveComics'', introducing villains the Nightslayer, Black Mask, and Film Freak. He and artist Don Newton made the story in which Jason Todd replaced Dick Grayson as the new Robin. This first run ended with issue #400. He returned to ''Batman'' in 1992 through 1998, where he contributed to the storylines "Knightfall," "[=KnightsEnd=]," "Contagion," "Legacy," and "Cataclysm." |

| 9 | At DC Comics, Moench also wrote ''Omega Men'' and ''ComicBook/TheSpectre'' and co-created ''Electric Warrior'' with artist Jim Baikie. He is most commonly associated with the artist and inker team of Kelley Jones and John Beatty, whom he was paired with during his Batman run and for the ComicBook/BatmanVampire Elseworld trilogy ''Batman & Dracula: Red Rain'', ''Batman: Bloodstorm'', and ''Batman: Crimson Mist''. |

| 11 | In addition, Moench was the story editor and head writer for ''Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures'' and wrote the initial screenplay for ''Film/RedSonja'', although it was significantly rewritten. |
