Roy Thomas

    22 novembre 1940

    Roy Thomas è celebrato per il suo lavoro pionieristico nel campo dei fumetti, in particolare come successore di Stan Lee presso Marvel Comics. Gli si attribuisce l'introduzione dell'eroe pulp Conan il Barbaro nei fumetti americani, ampliandone la narrazione e dando il via a un trend di spada e stregoneria. Thomas ha anche promosso gli eroi dell'Età d'Oro dei fumetti, riportando in vita il team degli anni '40 Justice Society of America. I suoi estesi crediti di scrittura includono cicli influenti sugli X-Men e sugli Avengers della Marvel, così come su All-Star Squadron della DC.
