Mark D. “M.D.” Bright (also nicknamed “Doc”), a longtime Marvel and DC comic book artist who co-created Quantum and Woody for Valiant Comics in the 1990s, has passed away at the age of 68.After graduating from Pratt Institute with an MFA in 1978, Bright worked as a teacher and consultant for a few years (while getting occasional comic book assignments for DC and Marvel, including drawing the last three issues of Thor before Walter Simonson took over the book in 1983) before finally fully breaking in at Marvel with the Falcon miniseries written by Christopher Priest (then known as Jim Owsley), which Bright took over after the series’ original artist, Paul Smith, left after one issue to take over Uncanny X-Men. While drawing Power Man and Iron Fist, Bright was also hired in 1985 to take over as the artist on Iron Man with the historic 200th issue. Initially working with writer Denny O’Neil, Bright stayed on the book when O’Neil left, and the writing team of David Michelinie and Bob Layton, who had written Iron Man before O’Neil, returned. Michelinie and Layton’s big return also involved the iconic storyline, Armor Wars, which Bright drew (inked by Layton. Ian Akin and Brian Garvey were Bright’s inkers before Layton and Michelinie returned to the book).
