Greg Weisman
Greg Weisman (BA Stanford, MPW U.S.C.), full name Gregory David Weisman,[1] has been a story-teller all his life. His first professional work was as an Associate Editor and Freelance Writer for DC Comics, where he worked on the Captain Atom title, among others.

He rose through the ranks to become the Director of Series Development for the division, working on such diverse properties as Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, TaleSpin, Bonkers, Raw Toonage, DuckTales the Movie, Aladdin: The Series and The Mighty Ducks, among others.
In 1991, Greg and his team created and developed a new series for Disney: GARGOYLES. Greg left his position as an executive to become the Supervising Producer and Supervising Story Editor of the first 66 episodes of that series. In 1996, Greg left Disney for DreamWorks Television Animation, where he also developed numerous series.

Currently, he is producing Young Justice, an animated series based on DC comics’ various “sidekick” heroes. But so far, nothing in his professional life has topped GARGOYLES.
