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.

En este primer tomo recopilatorio de la serie clásica del Maestro de Kung Fu, se recogen las circunstancias de la creación de Shang-Chi y sus vínculos con la obra y los personajes creados por el escrito Sax Rohmer y encabezados por el Doctor Fu Manchú.
A partir de una materia tan poco atractiva como desfasada, los autores Doug Moench y Paul Gulacy construirán un tebeo de culto en el que una composición gráfica deudora del cine convierte al artista marcial en un agente de élite en unos juegos de espionaje que el protagonista definirá como de «engaño y muerte».
Como es de esperar, tenemos unos inicios titubeantes en los que el enfrentamiento con Fu Manchú se va alejando de las endebles tramas de las novelitas de a duro de Rohmer y se convierte en algo más elaborado, otorgando al malvado doctor y a su némesis, Sir Dennis Nayland Smith, en personjes dotados de cierta profundidad y unos matices de los que originariamente carecían.
