Tom DeFalco is a Bronze-to-Copper Age writer and editor best known for long runs on Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Girl, where he became closely associated with Marvel's late Bronze and 1980s storytelling. His name is often associated with character-driven Spider-Man and Thor keys, extended run collecting, and books that serve as reference points for collectors following Marvel's transition from Bronze Age sensibilities into the modern era.
