Nick Spencer is an American comic book writer whose career has made him one of the more distinctive voices in mainstream superhero comics over the past decade and a half. Details about his birth date and birthplace are not documented in the available sources, though his background notably includes a stint in politics before he pivoted to writing comics professionally.

Spencer broke into the medium around 2010 and quickly built a reputation across both creator-owned and work-for-hire projects. At Image Comics, he launched Morning Glories, an ambitious, mystery-driven series that earned him considerable attention. His collaborations with artist Steve Lieber produced two sharply comedic titles — Superior Foes of Spider-Man and The Fix — that demonstrated a lighter, character-focused sensibility quite different from his superhero work.

At Marvel, Spencer took on Captain America in two simultaneous series — Captain America: Sam Wilson and Captain America: Steve Rogers — weaving them toward the 2017 crossover event "Secret Empire." The storyline, which repositioned Steve Rogers as a Hydra operative, generated significant public debate well beyond comics readership. He also wrote Secret Avengers, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, and eventually helmed a three-year run on The Amazing Spider-Man. No specific awards or death date appear in the available sources.
