For this edition of our creator spotlight, we’re looking at the life and legacy of writer Dwayne McDuffie.

This legend of comics and animation had a hand in tons of classic series, both in print and on the screen.

As a founder of Milestone Media, a company meant to champion diverse voices and characters, he co-created the electric superhero, Static.

His down to earth touch brought a human perspective to stories of superhuman characters, creating narratives that readers could really connect with.

Some of his career highlights include the Justice League Unlimited series, Ben 10: Alien Force, and the animated Static adaptation, Static Shock. His efforts as a creative changed how we now tell the stories of heroes.
