Ethan Sacks

Comics Writer

Marvel Comics

 

Over the past two years, Ethan Sacks has become one of the most prolific new voices at Marvel Comics, writing "Old Man Hawkeye," "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge," "Silver Surfer," "Old Man Quill," and "Weapon Plus." He returns to the Star Wars universe with the upcoming mini-series, "Journey to 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: Allegiance."

 

Before he rewrote his career, Sacks covered movies television, comic books and geek culture over a 20-year career as a journalist at the New York Daily News. There he profiled a who's who of Hollywood personalities from Affleck to Ziyi Zhang, traveled to New Zealand to be filmed with performance capture technology, and launched a movie screening program for children's charities that featured visits by Marvel actors including Chris Pratt, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. He also broke the story of Marvel Comics' decision to kill off Captain America, a scoop that was picked up by more than 4,000 outlets around the world. He was part of the news team that won awards from the prestigious Society of Silurians and the New York Press Club for the paper's coverage of the Miracle on the Hudson. 

His proudest moment, however, was having Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee dub his daughter “an official Superheroine, forevermore entitled to wear the colors and insignia of the fabled House of Sacks. So hath it been stated. So shall it be.” Well, it can be considered a tie with the actual birth of said daughter…
