Jack C. Harris
Jack C. Harris, born August 30, 1947, is an American comic book writer and editor whose most substantial contributions came during his long tenure at DC Comics spanning the 1970s and 1980s. His work across the catalog reflects a versatile range, with credits on titles as tonally distinct as the supernatural anthology *Secrets of Haunted House*, the war comic *Men of War*, and the post-apocalyptic adventure *Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth*. He also contributed to flagship titles including *Wonder Woman* and *World's Finest Comics*, demonstrating a comfort moving between DC's genre and superhero offerings alike.
Among his most-credited work is *Wundergirl*, pointing to a sustained engagement with characters in the broader Wonder Woman family. His career as a credited writer spans an impressive range of nearly five decades, with work documented from 1975 through 2023 across 186 issues — a testament to his durability in an industry that cycles through talent quickly.
While Harris may not occupy the same household-name status as some contemporaries, his steady presence across so many of DC's varied genre lines during a particularly fertile period for the publisher makes him a meaningful, if sometimes overlooked, figure in the company's mid-century output.
