    Talking Happy Birthday Jo Duffy!!!

    Jo “Mary Jo ” Duffy

    writer/editor
    An avid letter writer to Marvel Comics, Jo Duffy’s first appearance in the comics medium was being drawn into Iron Man #103 by George Tuska as an autograph seeker getting Iron Man’s signature while at an airport.

    After graduating from Wellesley College, Duffy got her first job editing comics, working on Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man.
    She was the first editor on Rom, the toy tie in series, and then started to pursue her writing career.
    She wrote 30 issues of Power Man & Iron Fist, over 70 issues of Star Wars, and worked on two Marvel Graphic Novels, including the movie adaption of George Lucas’ Willow, as well as various one shots and fill-ins throughout the Marvel Universe.

    In the 1990’s she moved over to DC where she wrote the first 14 issues of Catwoman with Jim Balent providing the art.
    She then moved on to Extreme Studios where she wrote 22 straight issues of Rob Liefeld’s Glory.

    She returned briefly to Marvel to write The Order, a Defenders mini-series. She has since moved out of the publishing field and now works at the NY State Immigration office.

    She really made PM&IF. She never favoured one over the other, and she mined gold out of their relationship.
