Doctor Fate by Jm Dematteis

＂In the late 1980s, a brand new Doctor Fate was introduced to the DC Universe. Legendary writer JM DeMatteis pens a magical epic about chaos, order, and family. Kent Nelson, the first Doctor Fate, has died, and not one but two people have stepped in to take his place. Chosen by the Lords of Order come Eric and Linda Strauss, who find themselves able to combine into a singular mystical force: the new Doctor Fate. Guided by the Lord of Order Nabu, Eric and Linda face their own sets of complicated challenges, both mystical and otherwise, as they navigate the strange new circumstances in which they’ve found themselves＂--Provided by publisher.

J.M. DeMatteis was a music critic but gave it up for becoming an award-winning writer best known for his personal works such as Moonshadow and BROOKLYN DREAMS. He began writing for DC in the late 1970s and rose to prominence with characters such as the JUSTICE LEAGUE revamp of the 1980s, a franchise that earned him an Eisner Award in 2004 for Best Humor Publication. He has written every major character at DC and Marvel, using that experience for a successful foray into animation writing including episodes of Justice League Unlimited and Batman: the Brave and the Bold.
