Mary Skrenes is a comic book writer and screenwriter. She may be best known as co-creator (with Steve Gerber) of Omega the Unknown for Marvel Comics, although she worked on other Marvel characters such as the Defenders and Guardians of the Galaxy. She was the creator of and inspiration for Beverly Switzler, the companion of Howard the Duck. For ''Omega the Unknown'', Skrenes created the supporting characters Amber Grant and Dian Wilkins. She published a number of horror stories for DC under the name Virgil North, and began a long collaboration with Steve Skeates. According to Skeates, a number of his mystery stories were actually co-written with Skrenes, but she insisted on submitting them under Skeates's name alone because of bad blood between her and editor Joe Orlando. Skrenes got her first professional work for DC Comics in the early 1970s, writing horror and romance stories under the tutelage of editor Dorothy Woolfolk. Skrenes wrote several episodes of ''Jem'', ''GI Joe'' and ''Transformers'' in the 1980s. In 2004 she re-united with Gerber to write the short-lived comic ''Hard Time''. For contractual reasons, she was credited only on ''Season Two''; however, the first issue stated that she had been involved with the series form the beginning. == Personal life == Collaborator Steve Gerber once described Skrenes in his blog as "such a private person that when she gets back to town she’ll probably castigate me for having just revealed that she’s such a private person."〔(Gerber, Steve. "Night Terrors". ''Stevegerblog'' August 13th, 2005 at 5:20 PM )〕 Her last name is pronounced ''skree-neez''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Skrenes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
