Glenn Herdling

Glenn Herdling was born on May 2, 1964, in the United States. He entered the comic book industry in the late 1980s and became best known for his work as a writer at Marvel Comics, particularly on *Namor the Sub-Mariner*. Over a career spanning from 1989 to 2021, he was credited as writer on more than 130 issues, with frequent contributions to titles such as *Cable*, *Blackwulf*, *Avengers Unplugged*, *Iron Man*, and *The Avengers*. Herdling often collaborated with artists like Steve Geiger and Ron Lim, and his writing style tended toward straightforward superhero storytelling with an emphasis on character-driven plots. Among his notable co-creations is the character Blackwulf, a short-lived series that showcased his interest in mystical and cosmic elements. Outside of comics, Herdling authored the *Piper Houdini* series of young adult novels and also worked as a manualist. While he did not receive major industry awards, his steady output during the 1990s made him a reliable presence in Marvel’s publishing line. Later in life, he continued to write occasionally and remained active in independent publishing. His legacy is that of a versatile craftsman who contributed to several key Marvel franchises during a period of expansion.
