Encyclopedia
Donald Francis McGregor (born June 15, 1945) is an American
comic book
writer best known for his work for Marvel Comics
, and the author of one of the first graphic novels.
, Rhode Island
, where as a young adult he worked a myriad of jobs including as a security guard, at a bank, at a movie theater, and "for my grandfather's company, [which] printed, among other things, the patches the astronauts wore on their flights to the moon." He additionally served as military police
with the National Guard
. His first appearances in print were in the letters-to-the-editor columns of various Marvel Comics
titles, including The Amazing Spider-Man
#77 (cover-dated Oct. 1969), and for The Providence Journal
, where his work included reviews of books by authors including Evan Hunter
, "who influenced me greatly as a writer."
McGregor broke into comics with stories in Warren Publishing
's black-and-white horror
-comics anthology magazines, beginning with the 10-page "A Tangible Hatred", illustrated by Richard Corben
, in Creepy
#41 (Sept. 1971). Over the next two years, he would write a dozen more stories for that magazine and its sister titles Eerie
and Vampirella
.
, the six-page supernatural story "The Man with Two Faces" in Journey into Mystery
vol. 2, #4 (April 1973; credited as "Donald F. McGregor"); and, solo, the six-page "A Tomb By Any Other Name" in Chamber of Chills #5 (July 1973).
He recalled in 2010,
With those two features, which became among comics' most acclaimed, McGregor soon established himself as one of a 1970s wave of Marvel writers, including Steve Englehart
, Steve Gerber
and Doug Moench
, who took often minor characters and helped create a writerly Renaissance. Former Marvel editor-in-chief Roy Thomas
said in 2007,
McGregor wrote "Killraven, Warrior of the Worlds" in Amazing Adventures vol. 2, #21-39 (Nov. 1973 - Nov. 1976, except for fill-in issues #33 and 38); and "Black Panther" in Jungle Action
#6-24 (Sept. 1973 - Nov. 1976, except for #23, a reprint). Unusually for mainstream comics, the Panther stories were set mostly in Africa
, in the Panther's fictional homeland Wakanda
rather than in Marvel's usual American settings. As with the futuristic stories of Killraven, McGregor's settings were enough outside the Marvel mainstream that he was able to explore mature themes and adult relationships in a way rare for comics at the time.
Artist Rich Buckler
, his first "Black Panther" collaborator, called McGregor and fellow Marvel writer Doug Moench
"two of my absolutely favorite writers. They had the same drive and enthusiasm, and just huge amounts of talent and energy." African-American writer-editor Dwayne McDuffie
said of the 1970s "Black Panther" series:
Like Jim Steranko
, a direct influence who had pushed similar boundaries in the late 1960s, McGregor often found himself at the limits of acceptability with both Marvel and the Comics Code Authority
. He and artist P. Craig Russell
engineered color comic books' first known interracial kiss, between the "Killraven" characters M'Shulla and Carmilla Frost, in Amazing Adventures #31 (July 1975). Three years earlier, McGregor and artist Luis Garcia
had already presented the first known interracial kiss in mainstream comics (as opposed to underground comix
) in Warren Publishing
's black-and-white horror-comics magazine, Creepy
#43 (Jan. 1972), in the story "The Men Who Called Him Monster".
More than two decades after the "Killraven" feature ended, comics historian Peter Sanderson wrote that,
McGregor also wrote stories for the Marvel characters Luke Cage
, Morbius the Living Vampire, and Spider-Man
, and created the detective
feature "Hodiah Twist", seen in the black-and-white magazines Marvel Preview #16: Masters of Terror (1973) and Vampire Tales #2 (1975). A Marvel "Bullpen Bulletins
" page in 1975 announced his planned radio drama
series, Night Figure, that was to have run on WHBI-FM.
, McGregor created one the first modern graphic novel
s, Eclipse Enterprises
' Sabre: Slow Fade of an Endangered Species
, a near-future, dystopia
n science fiction
swashbuckler
that introduced the title character. McGregor's work premiered in August 1978, two months before Will Eisner
's better-known graphic novel A Contract with God
. Sabre was additionally the first graphic novel sold through the new "direct market
" of comic-book stores. It later spun off a 14-issue Eclipse comic-book series.
Also for Eclipse, McGregor authored Detectives Inc.
, a pair of graphic novels set in contemporary New York City
and starring the interracial private eye team Ted Denning and Bob Rainier. Detectives Inc.: A Remembrance of Threatening Green (1979), with DC Comics
artist Marshall Rogers
, and Detectives, Inc.: A Terror Of Dying Dreams, with veteran Marvel artist Gene Colan
, who would become a frequent collaborator, comprised the series.
During this period, McGregor also wrote the two prose works Dragonflame and Other Bedtime Nightmares (Fictioneer Books, 1978) and The Variable Syndrome (Fictioneer, 1981).
' miniseries
Nathaniel Dusk (1984) and Nathaniel Dusk II (1985–1986), both with Colan; and, for New Media Publishing's Fantasy Illustrated (1982), "The Hounds of Hell Theory", starring the husband-and-wife detective team Alexander and Penelope Risk, with artist Tom Sutton
.
McGregor revisited the Black Panther with Colan in "Panther's Quest", published as 25 eight-page installments within the biweekly omnibus series Marvel Comics Presents
(issues #13-37, Feb.-Dec. 1989); and, later, with artist Dwayne Turner
in the squarebound miniseries Panther's Prey (Sept. 1990 - March 1991). Later in the decade, McGregor became one of the primary writers of the Zorro
canon, with Topps Comics
' Zorro and Lady Rawhide comic books; Image Comics
