Editing Walt Simonson (section)

===1990s===
Simonson became writer of the ''[[Fantastic Four (comic book)|Fantastic Four]]'' with issue #334 (Dec. 1989), and three issues later began penciling and inking as well (#337). For issues #347–349, he collaborated with [[Art Adams|Arthur Adams]], introducing the "New Fantastic Four" consisting of [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]], [[Spider-Man]], [[Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch)|Ghost Rider]] and the [[Hulk]].<ref>Nolen-Weathington ''Modern Masters Volume Eight Walter Simonson'' p. 67</ref><ref>Manning, Matthew K.

Simonson's decision to depict the dinosaurs in this manner was inspired by [[Gregory S. Paul]]'s then-controversial book, ''Predatory Dinosaurs of the World'', in which Paul theorized that dinosaurs had feathers. Because this idea was met with skepticism from the scientific community at the time, Simonson decided to compromise by depicting the dinosaurs with a small amount of feathers, rather than covered with them.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2015/07/03/comic-book-legends-revealed-530/2/|title= Comic Book Legends Revealed #530|first= Brian|last= Cronin|date= July 3, 2015|publisher= [[CBR.com]]|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150705202348/http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2015/07/03/comic-book-legends-revealed-530/2|archive-date= July 5, 2015|url-status= dead|df=mdy-all|quote= This is because Simonson...decided to be as accurate as he possibly could in the depiction of the dinosaurs in the issue. He relied heavily on Gregory Paul's book, ''Predator Dinosaurs of the World'', which was a controversial call at the time as Paul's theories regarding dinosaurs having feathers was not yet proven and drew much skepticism from other scientists.}}</ref> Simonson left the ''Fantastic Four'' with issue #354 (July 1991). In 1992, he wrote and illustrated the one-shot ''[[Superman]] Special'' #1 for DC. His other Marvel credits in the decade included co-plotting/writing the ''[[Iron Man 2020]]'' one-shot (June 1994) and writing the [[Heroes Reborn (1996 comic)|Heroes Reborn]] version of [[The Avengers (comic book)|The Avengers]].<ref name="GCD" />
