Question for PeterDavid.net readers

Posted By: Kathleen DavidPosted On:

What would you consider the most iconic covers of Peter’s career? Or, for that matter, what would you consider iconic images from Peter’s career?

(Yes, we know this is kind of an odd question to ask: what are the images that define a writer? But we’re curious.)

  1. For me, it had to be when he completely jumpstatred and revamped Superman…that, and of course his classic X-MEN issues…

  3. HI. I’M SUCH AN IDIOT TROLL THAT I DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO POST FROM DIFFERENT IP ADDRESSES BECAUSE I THOUGHT MULTIPLE NAMES WOULD FOOL PEOPLE.

    Hey, Kal-l assumed that wearing glasses and slouching would fool people.

    And it did.

  4. I enjoyed his run on Captain Marvel, especially his take on “Cosmic Awareness” driving Genis crazy—It not only brought that power into sharp focus, but also showed how really powerful Mar-Vell must have been to have been able to control it.

  5. Iconic? Maybe not – but the image of the dog chewing off the angel’s wings (I don’t have the issue in front so I don’t want to butcher the spelling of names) sticks with me. In a big way.

  6. 1 Val Cooper opening the Mayonnaise jar is the one that pops in my head when I think of Peter David.

  8. In case anyone is wondering, considering the impostors we’ve had here recently, the above posting is indeed from Steve Wacker, She-Hulk editor.

  10. I understand that most Peter David fans come through the comic vein but how can so few mention the New Frontier crew?
    Peter brought me into reading Star Trek fiction, and I’ve found a crew that I’d rather read about. Every time I hear about a new Star Trek movie or series I pray that I’m finally going to get to see M’knzy of Calhoun on the screen.
    As far as iconic…for me…
    Calhoun returning from the dead to his own funeral the first time
    Calhoun returning from the dead to his own funeral the second time
    Q turning Brikar into Brick
    All of Being Human and Gods Above
    Kebron apologizing for beating up people to get back Xyon.
    Burgy fighting…anything.
    Calhoun fighting…anything.
    I can not overstate how much I love this crew and how much the books have impacted my life.
    So yea, that’s what I think.

  12. There are many to mention.

    The revelation that Betty was pregnant was used well twice. First, when the leader chanced upon this info. Second, when Betty reluctantly told the Gray Hulk on top of a freezing mountaintop.

    These were moments when I knew that this was a writer who I would be reading for years to come.

    “The Commuter Commeth” in Amazing Spider-Man 267 was another great Peter David moment.

    An image I have of Peter David was his amusing “debate” with Todd McFarlane at the Philadelphia Comic-Con back before there was a Wizard Con. It was interesting to see, as Mr. David had come armed with facts and arguments and Mr. McFarlane treated it as though he were at a fraternity meeting.

    Best part was the McFarlane baseball analogy about the catcher dropping a third strike…and then Mr. David reminding him that the catcher can then throw the runner out. I think that was how it went. Anyway, in terms of the debate, it’s pretty obvious that PAD was the winner.

  13. I understand that most Peter David fans come through the comic vein but how can so few mention the New Frontier crew?

    Well, if it makes you feel better, I came to know PAD through his New Frontier and other Star Trek books as well.

    I’m still more of a character-first kind of comic book reader, rather than writer-first. 🙂
