    Marvel Handbook Writers

    Me: In alphabetical order by last name, list every writer of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and which titles they worked on. Bold the writer's name. List issue numbers of a particular title ran more than one issue.

    ChatGPT: Here’s a list of the primary writers who contributed to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe series, arranged alphabetically by last name, along with the titles and issue numbers they worked on:


    • Eliot R. Brown: Worked primarily on technical entries for various editions, including schematics for vehicles and equipment used by characters.
    • Peter Sanderson: Contributed to multiple editions, primarily the original 1983-1984 Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (12 issues) and the Deluxe Edition (1985-1988).
    • Murray Ward: Wrote several entries for The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition.
    • Mark Gruenwald: The lead writer and editor behind the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe series. He was the main writer for the original series (1983-1984), Deluxe Edition (1985-1988), and Master Edition (1990-1993).
    • Len Kaminski: Worked on the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Master Edition (1990-1993).
    • Glenn Herdling: Worked on the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89 (1989).
    • Ronald Byrd: Worked on various handbooks, including All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z (2006), as well as specialized handbooks such as Civil War Files (2006), Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? (2008), and others.
    • Michael Hoskin: Contributed to the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z (2006) and various event-specific handbooks like Annihilation: Nova Corps Files (2006), Secret Invasion (2008), and Fear Itself (2011).
    • Jeff Christiansen: Worked on the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z (2006) and several themed handbooks, such as Marvel Knights Encyclopedia (2004) and Marvel Zombies Handbook (2007).
    • Stuart Vandal: Contributed to the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z (2006) and subsequent handbooks related to Marvel events like Secret Invasion and Dark Reign.

    Each of these writers played a significant role in maintaining the meticulous detail that has made the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe a valued resource for fans and creators alike.

    Re: Marvel Handbook Writers

    Obviously not even close to what I was asking for: too broad, not in alphabetical order. Also the original series ran 15 issues. Secret Invasion and Civil War Files weren't true Handbooks.

    Re: Marvel Handbook Writers

    The alphabetizing is better but not perfect. Too many files books included. There wasn't a 2010 Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk book.Lots of writers left off.

    Re: Marvel Handbook Writers

    Obviously lots of non-existent or at least non-Handbook titles mixed in, and a lot of Handbooks left off the list. And the alphabetizing is way off. Still, at least some writers overlooked previously are now included.
