Steve Englehart went to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. After a stint in the Army, he moved to New York and began to write for Marvel Comics. That led to long runs on Captain America, The Hulk, The Avengers, Dr. Strange, and a dozen other titles. Midway through that period he moved to California (where he remains), and met and married his wife Terry.
He was finally hired away from Marvel by DC Comics, to be their lead writer and revamp their core characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern). He did, but he also wrote a solo Batman series (immediately dubbed the "definitive" version) that later became Warner Brothers' first Batman film (the good one).
After that he left comics for a time, traveled in Europe for a year, wrote a novel (The Point Man™), and came back to design video games for Atari (E.T., Garfield). But he still liked comics, so he created Coyote™, which within its first year was rated one of America's ten best series. Other projects he owned (Scorpio Rose™, The Djinn™) were mixed with company series (Green Lantern [with Joe Staton], Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four). Meanwhile, he continued his game design for Activision, Electronic Arts, Sega, and Brøderbund.
And once he and Terry had their two sons, Alex and Eric, he naturally told them stories. Rustle's Christmas Adventure was first devised for them. He went on to add a run of mid-grade books to his bibliography, including the DNAgers™ adventure series, and Countdown to Flight, a biography of the Wright brothers selected by NASA as the basis for their school curriculum on the invention of the airplane.
In 1992 Steve was asked to co-create a comics pantheon called the Ultraverse. One of his contributions, The Night Man, became not only a successful comics series, but also a television show. That led to more Hollywood work, including animated series such as Street Fighter, GI Joe, and Team Atlantis for Disney.

June 30, 2021I did not read the part where the dead were trying to come back to life or the weirdly fancy magic show…
I did read when Wanda told her brother, Pietro, that she was pregnant!
The moment was kinda funny because he seemed more concerned with chastising her for calling him ‘baby’ brother.
Anyway, in the end Agatha (from beyond the grave) saves Wanda and is able to go to her “...long-awaited rest -- in peace--!”

starts off with vision going to hang out glamour & illusion at the magic mansion. we all need friends.. well, good neighbors as they put it. :)
wanda decided to stay home and try to communicate with agatha from the dead. but as usual, it eventually goes haywire.
i won’t get into too much detail about this issue, but it was average at most. plot was irie, but wasn’t as strong as the previous issue.

I don't know, I think Pietro finally not being an ass and accepting that Wanda and Vision are in love and will have a child is character development of the century.
