Martin Pasko was originally hired as the story editor of Spider-Man. However, he was fired and replaced by John Semper, Jr.. The only thing Pasko did as story editor that remained in the series after he left was having Hobgoblin come before Green Goblin. This was because Avi Arad's company ToyBiz had already created a Hobgoblin action figure.[1]
He wrote for comics including Vampirella, Superman, The Atom, Action Comics, Doctor Fate, The Flash, Metal Men, Wonder Woman, Star Trek, Swamp Thing, and Gargoyles as well as comic adaptations of Superman Returns, Smallville, and Birds of Prey.
Other notable film and television works include Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Thundarr the Barbarian, Goldie Gold and Action Jack, Fantasy Island, Mister T, The Berenstain Bears, The Twilight Zone, G. I. Joe, My Little Pony 'n Friends, Max Headroom, Superman, Simon & Simon, Roseanne, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Tick, Mega Man, Exosquad, Young Justice, and Cannon Busters.
