Christopher Priest is one of the most influential writers in modern comics, known for his sharp wit, intricate storytelling, and groundbreaking contributions to the industry. He began his career at Marvel, becoming the company’s first Black editor and working on titles like The Amazing Spider-Man and Power Man and Iron Fist before transitioning to writing full-time. His breakthrough came with Quantum and Woody for Valiant Comics, and he later redefined Black Panther in the late ‘90s, crafting the now-iconic interpretation that influenced the MCU. Priest has also left his mark on Deathstroke and Justice League for DC, Captain America and the Falcon for Marvel, and more recently, Vampirella for Dynamite, proving his storytelling prowess across genres and publishers.

His new Vampirella #1 comes out today, 3/26, and his new collaboration with Joe Quesada, Marvel Knights: The World to Come, was just announced for a June release. You can't find Priest online; just buy his work.
