Dan Chichester

Daniel G. Chichester (born August 22, 1964) is an American comic book writer. His credits include ''Daredevil'' and '' Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' for Marvel Comics.

Career

D. G. Chichester was born in Connecticut, and studied filmmaking at New York University. In his junior year, after running through cash reserves on his narrative student film, he took a job as assistant to the assistant of editor in chief Jim Shooter. This led to an editorial job at the Marvel Comics imprint Epic Comics following his graduation. Working as an assistant editor from 1985 to 1986, he was promoted to editor in 1987. Chichester worked in that capacity at Epic until 1989. He left Marvel's staff that year to pursue freelance writing and editing full-time.

Beginning in 1987, Chichester added to his editorial role and began writing comics for Marvel — and, after leaving staff, for other publishers. His credits include '' Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' in 1990–1992, and '' Nightstalkers'' in 1992-1993. He had a long run on ''Daredevil'' from 1991 to 1995, where he scripted the "Fall of the Kingpin" and "Fall From Grace" story arcs. Additional freelance credits from this period include '' Charlemagne'' #1–5 for Defiant Comics and '' Motorhead'' #1–6 for Dark Horse Comics.

In early 1995, while in the midst of developing upcoming story lines for ''Daredevil'', he learned he was to be replaced by group editor Bobbie Chase as the title's writer. For the five issues of the comic he was obligated to write he took his name off the credits, instead demanding an "Alan Smithee" credit (an official pseudonym used by film directors who wish to disown a project). Despite being fired from the title, Chichester was later given the opportunity to write the 1997 ''Daredevil/Batman'' intercompany crossover, " An Eye for an Eye", and accepted.

Chichester has had no major comics writing credits since 1999, the same year he joined the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather as an associate creative director. Chichester is currently the Chief Experience Officer (CXO) for the Ogilvy Health division of Ogilvy & Mather based in both New York City and Parsippany, New Jersey.

He lives in Connecticut with his wife and son, continuing to experiment with moviemaking and animation.
