Career

Kavanagh was a Marvel Comics editor from 1985 to 1997.[2] Titles he edited during that time included Marvel Comics Presents and Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Writer/artist Alan Davis, who Kavanagh edited on Excalibur, said "Terry Kavanagh spoiled me, gave me near total freedom, and encouraged me to experiment."[3] In 1987, he began to write for Marvel with his first published story "Cry Vengeance!" appearing in Kickers, Inc. #4 (Feb. 1987).[4] He later wrote such titles as Marc Spector: Moon Knight, Avengers: Timeslide, X-Man and X-Universe. In Web of Spider-Man #100 (May 1993), Kavanagh and artist Alex Saviuk gave the lead character "Spider-Armor".[5] He wrote the Spider-Man/Punisher/Sabretooth: Designer Genes one-shot the following month.[6] Kavanagh was one of the writers on the "Maximum Carnage" storyline which ran through the various Spider-Man titles in 1993.[7] The first Black Cat limited series was co-written by Kavanagh and Joey Cavalieri in 1994.[8] Kavanagh pitched a storyline involving the return of Spider-Man's clone,[9] which then formed the basis of the "Clone Saga" which began in Web of Spider-Man #117 (Oct. 1994).[10] Kavanagh's last new comics project was the Before the Fantastic Four: The Storms limited series in 2000–2001.[4][11]
