Ralph Macchio is an American comic book editor and writer who has held many positions at Marvel Comics, including executive editor. Macchio is commonly associated with Daredevil, Thor, the Spider-Man line of comics, and the Ultimate Marvel line.
During a 20-year career at Marvel Comics, Bob Budiansky worked as an editor, illustrator and writer. As an editor, he oversaw titles that included
Spider-Man, Daredevil, and the
Fantastic Four. Beginning in 1990, he oversaw the first 11 sets of Marvel Trading Cards, including the first Marvel Masterpieces set. As an illustrator, he rose to prominence as the cover artist for
Ghost Rider, eventually taking over the penciling chores for the entire book.
Bob also created his own his own monthly series,
Sleepwalker, which he wrote for almost three years.
Bob is perhaps best known for the work he did on
The Transformers. Bob was the editor on the very first
Transformers mini-series in 1984. He followed up that hugely successful four-issue intro by writing most of the next 51 issues of the monthly
Transformers comic book. He also named, created character profiles of, and wrote Hasbro packaging copy for approximately 250
Transformers during the first six years of the brand's existence, and developed story treatments as Hasbro introduced new lines of
Transformers.
In 2010, Hasbro inducted Bob into the inaugural class of the Transformers Hall of Fame.
