Douglas "Doug" Moench (born February 23, 1948), is an American comic book writer notable for his Batman work and as the creator of Black Mask, Moon Knight, Deathlok and Bane.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Moench has written novels, short stories, newspaper feature articles, weekly newspaper comic strips, film screenplays and teleplays. His first published work was My Dog Sandy, a comic strip printed in his elementary school newspaper. He began his professional writing career with scripts for Eerie #29 and Vampirella #7 (both cover dated September 1970) and articles for the Chicago Sun-Times. In 1973, he moved to New York City.
Moench began working for Marvel Comics in 1973, with his first story for the company appearing in Chamber of Chills #7 (November 1973). The following year, Moench became the de facto lead writer for the Marvel black-and-white magazine imprint Curtis Magazines. He contributed to the entire runs of Planet of the Apes and Doc Savage, while serving as a regular scribe for virtually every other Curtis title during the course of the imprint's existence. For Marvel's color comic line, Moench wrote the Werewolf by Night title and followed Steve Englehart as writer of Master of Kung Fu. Moench scripted the "Deathlok" feature in Astonishing Tales featuring the character co-created by Rich Buckler. Moench and artist Don Perlin introduced Moon Knight in Werewolf by Night #32 (August 1975). Moench and George Pérez launched The Inhumans series in October 1975 while "Weirdworld" was created by Moench and Mike Ploog in Marvel Super Action #1 (January 1976).
