In the early 90's Dan Slott entered the comic book industry as an intern at Marvel Comics for (then) editor Fabian Nicieza. Dan had recently graduated from college and had taken the non-paying position, as a way to meet people, and to learn the business of comics. After a few months, Slott was told that Marvel wanted to hire him for a staff position, but only after he finished his college education. After he graduated he was put on the Marvel Staff writing full time. In the following years Slott served as Marvel's art returnist, an assistant editor, and gave guided tours of the offices. He also worked as both a freelance writer and last-minute colorist. He has written many comicbook's including the Amazing Spider-Man. He was the first to write the first Brand New Day arc story.
