Alan Weiss (born March 7, 1948 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American comic book artist and writer known for his work for DC Comics and Marvel Comics.
Alan Weiss began his comics career at DC Comics in 1971. Later that year, he began working for Marvel Comics as well where he drew Avengers, Captain America, Daredevil, Sub-Mariner and Spider-Man.
Weiss recalled in a 2006 interview there was a "lost" Adam Warlock story, which if completed would have been reminiscent of the Jonathan Swift novel Gulliver's Travels. Portions of it were printed in the second volume of Marvel Masterworks: Warlock. The remainder of the artwork was lost in a New York City taxicab in 1976.
In 1977, Weiss was one of the artists on the first issue of Marvel Comics Super Special which featured the rock band Kiss in a 40-page fictional adventure written by Steve Gerber. Kiss reappeared in an occult adventure in issue #5 (1978) which was written by Weiss. In April 1978, Weiss and writer E. Nelson Bridwell revamped the Captain Marvel character for DC with Weiss providing more realistic art for the series.Dennis O'Neil and Weiss created the character Calypso in The Amazing Spider-Man #209 (Oct. 1980).
