Steve Englehart has had a long career in comics and this video specifically analyzes a productive period he had from 1971 through 1977, writing defining runs on Defenders, Avengers, Doctor Strange, Captain America, and Batman. The video analyzes what he does with his writing style and looks at unique things he did - unapproved Marvel/DC crossovers, taking a character with him across 4 publishers, and inspiring many of the live action comic book movies.
