Primary rolewriter

Born on April 28, 1977, Zeb Wells has built a versatile career that moves fluidly between comic books, animation writing, directing, and voice performance. He is perhaps best recognized in comics circles for his substantial runs on Marvel's *Amazing Spider-Man* and *New Mutants*, titles that showcase his comfort with both superhero action and ensemble character dynamics.

Wells entered the industry in the early 2000s and has remained consistently active, accumulating credits as writer on over 200 issues between 2002 and 2026. Beyond those flagship titles, his Marvel work spans *Hellions*, *Avenging Spider-Man*, *New Warriors*, and *Peter Parker: Spider-Man*, among others — a body of work that demonstrates a particular affinity for Spider-Man's corner of the Marvel universe.

His creative range extends well beyond the comics page. Wells has served as a writer, director, and voice actor on the Adult Swim stop-motion comedy *Robot Chicken*, contributing to one of the more distinctive genre-parody programs in recent television. He also co-created *SuperMansion*, the Crackle animated superhero series on which he serves as executive producer and provides voices for the characters Robobot and Groaner.

No major industry awards are documented in the available record, but Wells's longevity across two demanding creative fields speaks to a pragmatic, craftsman-like approach to popular entertainment.
