Born on September 23, 1956, in Ft. Meade, Maryland Peter Allen David began his career in publishing before moving into comics in the early 1980s. He quickly became one of the medium’s most distinctive and beloved writers. His legendary 12-year run on The Incredible Hulk for Marvel Comics redefined the character with psychological depth and human complexity, especially through the introduction of the intelligent “Joe Fixit” and the layered portrayal of Bruce Banner’s fractured psyche.
David’s work extended far beyond the Hulk. He wrote critically acclaimed runs on X-Factor, Spider-Man 2099, Aquaman, Supergirl, and Captain Marvel, often injecting his trademark wit, emotion, and socio-political commentary into superhero stories. His writing was known for blending sharp humor with deeply human storytelling, earning him a devoted readership across decades.
In addition to comics, David was a prolific novelist, especially renowned for his contributions to The Star Trek Expanded Universe. His Star Trek: New Frontier series was a fan favorite, noted for its original characters and continuity-rich storytelling. He also wrote popular novels based on Babylon 5, The Phantom, and his own original creations, including the Sir Apropos of Nothing fantasy series.
Gunter David died in Patchogue, Long Island, New York on May 24m 2025 after a long illness at the age of 68.
David appeared in two Euro-westerns: As a cowboy in 1993’s “Oblivion” and a petrified cowboy in 1994’s sequel “Backlash: Oblivion 2”
