Christopher Priest, formerly Jim Owsley, is a (retired) comic book writer. He's famous mostly for things that have very little to do with his comics (namely, his race and various inter-office pissing contests), which is a shame, because as far as the people who actually read his work are concerned, he may have been one of the very best the industry ever saw. |

His most famous works were [[Quantum and Woody]] (about two dysfunctional best friends turned superheroes), [[Power Man And Iron Fist]] (about two dysfunctional superheroes turned best friends), [[The Ray]] (which was ''[[Invincible]]'' ten years before Invincible, only with lots more [[Time Travel]] and [[Xanatos Gambit|Gambitting]]), and perhaps most famously, his [[Black Panther]] relaunch, considered by many (if not most) fans to be the definitive take on Panther, and is largely credited with legitimizing the character beyond being "that black guy in the back of the Avengers team photos". |
