Chuck Dixon

American comic book writer

Not to be confused with Buzz Dixon.

Charles Dixon (born April 14, )[1] is an American comic book writer, best known for his work on the Marvel Comics character the Punisher and on the DC Comics characters Batman, Nightwing, and Robin in the s and early s.

Early life

Dixon was born in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Upper Darby, reading comics of all genres. He is a graduate of Upper Darby High School ().[2]

Career

s

Chuck Dixon's earliest comics work was writing Evangeline for Comico Comics in and then for First Comics.

Editor Larry Hama hired him to write back-up stories for Marvel Comics' Savage Sword of Conan. Writing under the name "Charles Dixon", he would eventually take over the lead feature of Conan on a semi-regular basis. He contributed stories to the Hama edited re-boot of Savage Tales highlighted by a number of western stories illustrated by John Severin.[3]

In , he began working for Eclipse Comics, writing Airboy which was edited by Timothy Truman followed by Cat Yronwode for the bulk of its 50 issue run.[4] Continuing to write for both Marvel and Eclipse on these titles, as well as launching Strike! with artist Tom Lyle in August and Valkyrie with artist Paul Gulacy in October , he began work on Carl Potts' Alien Legion series for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint,[5] under editor Archie Goodwin.[6] He produced a three-issue adaptation of J.

R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for Eclipse with artist David Wenzel between and , and began writing Marc Spector: Moon Knight in June for editor Potts.[7]

s (Punisher and Batman)

The Punisher Kingdom Gone graphic novel (August ) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal and later other Punisher titles, and brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Dennis O'Neil, who asked him and Tom Lyle to produce a Robin mini-series featuring the Tim Drake incarnation.

Graham nolan Preceded by Doug Murray. Succeeded by Doug Moench. I think having audiobooks with dramatic readings and special sound effects would enhance the reading experience for traditional comic books and graphic novels. Guess the joke's on them.

The series proved popular enough to spawn two sequels – The Joker's Wild () and Cry of the Huntress ().[8] This led to both an ongoing monthly series[9] which Dixon wrote for issues before leaving to work with CrossGen Comics, and to Dixon working on Detective Comics from # (May )[10] to # (Nov.

) through the major Batman stories "Knightfall'"[11] and "KnightsEnd"[12] for which he helped create the key character of Bane,[13] "Contagion",[14] "Legacy",[15] "Cataclysm",[16] and "No Man's Land". Dixon and Lyle co-created the Electrocutioner in Detective Comics # (May )[17] and Stephanie Brown in Detective Comics # (August ).[18] Much of his later run was illustrated by Graham Nolan.[19]

He was DC's most prolific Batman writer in the s.

In addition to writing Detective Comics he pioneered the individual series for Robin, Nightwing (which he wrote for 70 issues, and returned to briefly with 's #) and Batgirl, as well as creating the team and book Birds of Prey.[20]

While writing multiple Punisher and Batman comics and October 's Punisher/Batman crossover, he launched Team 7 for Jim Lee's WildStorm/Image and Prophet for Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios.

He wrote many issues of Catwoman and Green Arrow, regularly having about seven titles out each month between and [21] In , Dixon co-wrote the Batman-Spawn: War Devilintercompany crossover with Doug Moench and Alan Grant.[22] Dixon and Tom Grummett crafted a Secret Six one-shot (Dec.

) as part of the Tangent Comics imprint.[23]

s

CrossGen

In March , Dixon turned his attention to CrossGen's output, slowly leaving Robin, Nightwing, Birds of Prey and Batgirl over the next year although he co-wrote with Scott Beatty the origin of Barbara Gordon's Batgirl in 's Batgirl: Year One.[24] For CrossGen he took over some of the comics of the departing Mark Waid, taking over Sigil from #21, and Crux with # He launched Way of the Rat in June , Brath (March ), The Silken Ghost (June ) and the pirate comic El Cazador (Oct ),[25] as well as editing Robert Rodi's non-Sigilverse The Crossovers.

He wrote the Ruse spin-off Archard's Agents one-shots in January and November and April , the last released shortly before CrossGen's cancellation of all of its series. Dixon wrote a single issue of Sojourn (May ). Dixon's Way of the Rat #24, Brath #14 and El Cazador #6 were among the last comics released from the then-bankrupt publisher.[26]

In January , he wrote the Connor Hawke: Dragon's Blood mini-series featuring Green Arrow's son Connor Hawke,[33] and in March , Dixon returned to writing Robin.
