John Ostrander

John Ostrander (born April 20, 1949) is an American writer of comic books, including ''Suicide Squad'', ''Grimjack'' and ''Star Wars: Legacy''.
==Career==
Ostrander studied theology with the intent of becoming a Catholic priest, but now describes himself as an agnostic.
Originally an actor in the Organic Theater Company in Chicago, Ostrander moved into writing comics in 1983. His first published works were stories about the character "Sargon, Mistress of War", which appeared in the First Comics series ''Warp!'', based on a series of plays by that same Chicago theatre company. He and Timothy Truman co-created the character Grimjack which originally appeared in a backup story in the First Comics title, ''Starslayer'', before receiving its own title. Just prior to entering the comics industry, Ostrander had a supporting character named for him in ''The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl'' series. His friend, writer Paul Kupperberg incorporated him into the Supergirl storyline in 1982.
Ostrander made his DC Comics debut by plotting the miniseries ''Legends'' which was scripted by Len Wein and penciled by John Byrne. Following ''Legends'', Ostrander and artist Luke McDonnell launched the Suicide Squad into their own title in 1987〔Manning "1980s" in Dolan, p. 228: "Writer John Ostrander gave the new Suicide Squad its own series, having brought the team to life in 1986's '' Legends'' miniseries...With the team's own title, Ostrander was helped by artist Luke McDonnell."〕 and developed several characters for the series. Later that same year, he and actor/writer Del Close created the ''Wasteland'' series with a rotating roster of artists.
From 1987 until her death from breast cancer in 1997, Ostrander frequently co-wrote with his wife Kim Yale including on the ''Manhunter'' series.〔 It was while working together on ''Suicide Squad'' that they recast Barbara Gordon, the former Batgirl, into the information and computer specialist Oracle.〔Manning "1980s" in Dolan, p. 239: "Barbara () set herself as an information guru...Called Oracle, Barbara was recruited by the Suicide Squad in the pages of issue #23 of the Squad's comic, written by John Ostrander and Kim Yale, and pencilled by Luke McDonnell."〕
Ostrander has been a frequent collaborator with artist Tom Mandrake. They have worked together on ''Grimjack'', ''Firestorm the Nuclear Man'', ''The Spectre'', and ''Martian Manhunter''.〔(John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake collaborations ) at the Grand Comics Database〕
Ostrander's in-depth explorations of morality were used in his work writing ''The Spectre'',〔Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 255: "The crime fighter from beyond the grave, the Spectre, was back in a new series by writer John Ostrander and artist Tom Mandrake."〕 a DC Comics series about the manifestation of the wrath of God. His focus on the character's human aspect, a dead police detective from the 1930s named Jim Corrigan, and his exploration of moral and theological themes. In issue #54 (June 1997), the creative team introduced the character Michael Holt as a new version of Mister Terrific.〔Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 279: "''The Spectre'' ongoing series was nearing its end, but that didn't stop writer John Ostrander and artist Tom Mandrake from pooling their creative forces to create one of the DCU's newest shining stars...An inspired and reborn () Holt then picked up the mantle of Mr. Terrific."〕 Following the end of ''The Spectre'' series, they moved onto a ''Martian Manhunter'' series.〔Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 285: "The fan-favorite team of writer John Ostrander and artist Tom Mandrake, fresh off their lengthy run on ''The Spectre'', were ready to take on another caped powerhouse with ''Martian Manhunter''.〕 In December 2006, a story-arc titled "Grotesk" by Ostrander and Mandrake appeared in ''Batman'' issues 659-662.
In 1990, Ostrander launched an ongoing ''Hawkworld'' series〔 which followed Timothy Truman's limited series of the same name. In 1993, the title was cancelled and relaunched as ''Hawkman'' with art by Jan Duursema.〔Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 260: "Chicago had a guardian angel with armored wings in Hawkman's latest adventures by writer John Ostrander and artist Jan Duursema."〕
At Marvel Comics, Ostrander has worked on ''X-Men'', ''Bishop'', ''Quicksilver'', ''Heroes for Hire'' and the ''Punisher'', as well as the Western mini-series ''Blaze of Glory: The Last Ride of the Western Heroes''.
He has written the ''Elfquest'' character Jink for WaRP Graphics, ''Hotspur'' for Eclipse Comics; ''Lady Death'' for Chaos! Comics; ''Magnus, Robot Fighter'', ''Rai and the Future Force'' and ''Eternal Warrior'' for Valiant Comics. He was one of the main writers on ''Star Wars: Republic'' for Dark Horse Comics, and his story arcs include "Twilight", "Darkness", and "The Clone Wars" stories. He is the writer of ''Star Wars: Legacy''. An unreleased ''Doctor Who'' audio drama titled "Deadman's Hand" was written by Ostrander for Big Finish Productions.
