Career
Salicrup began his comics career at Marvel Comics, where he started out as a messenger and worked his way up to editor.[2] A Marvel employee for twenty years, he edited The Avengers,[3] The Uncanny X-Men,[4] and The Fantastic Four.[5] In 1987, Salicrup became the editor of The Amazing Spider-Man[6] and oversaw the "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline. He is credited with coming up with the idea of running "Kraven's Last Hunt" as a crossover through all the Spider-Man titles.[7] He followed this by hiring Todd McFarlane to draw the title. The popularity of McFarlane's work led to the launch of another Spider-Man title, Spider-Man, which Salicrup edited as well.[8] Salicrup was the editor of Marvel Age magazine for eight years. He wrote Transformers, Sledge Hammer!, The A-Team, The Amazing Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk toilet paper,[9] Spidey Super Stories, and the child abuse prevention issue of Spider-Man.
in 1992, Salicrup became the editor-in-chief of Topps Comics, where he edited Bram Stoker's Dracula, X-Files, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Zorro, Lady Rawhide, a line of Jack Kirby superhero titles, Ray Bradbury Comics, and more.
At Stan Lee Media, Salicrup served as senior writer/editor, as well as the writer and voice of "Stan Lee's Evil Clone".[10]
Salicrup is the editor-in-chief at Papercutz, publishers of Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Tales From The Crypt, Totally Spies!, and Zorro graphic novels.
He is a trustee at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA).[citation needed]
