Timeline

1954

Roger Allen Slifer (November 11, 1954 – March 30, 2015) was an American comic book writer, screenwriter, and television producer who co-created the character Lobo for DC Comics.

Slifer was born on November 11, 1954.

He had a sister, Connie.

Slifer spent most of his childhood in Morristown, Indiana.

Slifer started out in comics as a member of the so-called CPL Gang, a group of amateur comics enthusiasts based in Indianapolis, many of whom later went on to careers in the comics industry.

1970

By the mid–1970s, Slifer was working as a freelance writer for Marvel Comics.

Thanks to Marvel staffers (and former CPL Gang members) Duffy Vohland and Tony Isabella, in the late 1970s Slifer was hired as an assistant editor at Marvel, where he wrote for a number of comic-book series including The Defenders.

He also became a colorist.

Eventually, Slifer became a special projects editor at Marvel, overseeing comics magazines published by Marvel's parent company such as The Rampaging Hulk.

During this time, Slifer worked on the Marvel Classics Comics line, in addition to film adaptations.

Slifer had been involved in the creators' rights issue since the late 1970s.

After leaving DC, Slifer found work with Sunbow Entertainment, an animation production company with ties to Marvel Comics and Marvel Productions.

Slifer eventually became a supervising producer, story editor, and writer for the animated television program Jem and the Holograms.

He produced and was story editor on other animated series including G.I. Joe Extreme, My Little Pony 'n Friends, Transformers, Street Fighter, Conan the Adventurer, and Bucky O'Hare.

During his time at Sunbow, Slifer's colleagues included former Marvel Comics writers Steve Gerber and Marv Wolfman.

Slifer co-produced the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh! for 4Kids Entertainment in the United States.

Slifer worked as a writer and consultant in the video games industry.

1979

In 1979, Slifer (with the financial assistance of David Anthony Kraft), under the publishing imprint Excalibur Enterprises, published Collector's Classics #1: Manhunter: The Complete Saga, which reprinted the Archie Goodwin/Walt Simonson run of Manhunter backup stories from DC Comics' Detective Comics #437–443.

1980

Among the many comic-book series for which he wrote was DC's Omega Men for a run in the 1980s.

1981

Slifer moved to DC Comics in February 1981, ostensibly as the company's first sales manager to comic book specialty stores.

He continued writing sporadically, most notably on Omega Men, where he co-created the extraterrestrial alien mercenary anti-hero Lobo with artist Keith Giffen.

1984

Slifer served as an editor at DC from 1984–1985 and oversaw the Green Lantern/Green Arrow reprint series, New Talent Showcase, and World's Finest Comics.

Slifer left DC after clashing with the company about its stance regarding creators' rights.

2012

Slifer was the victim of a hit-and-run collision in 2012 that left him in institutional care until his death.

Prior to 2012, Slifer lived in Santa Monica, California.

Early on June 23, 2012, Slifer was hit by a motorist while walking in Santa Monica, California, after spending the evening with friends.

The driver fled the scene.

Slifer was seriously injured, suffering breaks to some ribs, his collar bone, and his shoulder.

Most critically, due to head injuries, doctors had to remove a portion of Slifer's skull and place him in an induced coma at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

S.L.I.F.E.R., the Society for Legal, Investigative and Financial Empowerment and Recovery, was created in July 2012 to assist in bringing the hit-and-run driver to justice and providing updates on Slifer's condition.

The nonprofit assistance organization The Hero Initiative helped raise money to assist in Slifer's legal case and medical care.

Slifer's sister Connie Carlton took over his care, and in late July 2012, Slifer was moved from UCLA's Ronald Reagan Neuroscience/Trauma Intensive Care Unit to Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Los Angeles.

At that point, he was still comatose.

Slifer's condition improved at Barlow, and he emerged from his coma.

In late September 2012, he was transferred to the sub-acute care facility Goldstar Rehabilitation Services, in Santa Monica.

2013

As of late February 2013, Slifer was awaiting surgery to replace the portion of his skull removed immediately after the crash.

Carlton had arranged to transport Slifer to Indiana for further rehabilitation.

2015

He died on March 30, 2015.

Slifer had three fictional characters named at least in part after him:
