  • Derek "Dez" Skinn (born 4 February 1951) is a British comic and magazine editor, and author of a number of books on comics. As head of Marvel Comics' operations in England in the late 1970s, Skinn reformatted existing titles, launched new ones, and acquired the BBC license for Doctor Who Weekly. After leaving Marvel UK, Skinn founded and edited Warrior, which featured key works by Alan Moore. Called by some the "British Stan Lee," Skinn is one of British comics' most influential figures. He has also caused no small amount of controversy in his career, specifically related to legal issues regarding his publishing new adventures of the 1950s character Marvelman, as well as charges of plagiarism about Skinn's 2004 book Comix: The Underground Revolution.

  • Derek G. "Dez" Skinn, född 4 februari 1951, är en brittisk författare, redaktör och förläggare. Han började sin karriär på IPC Magazines 1970 innan han i mitten av 1970-talet istället gick över till Warner Bros. I januari 1978 grundade Skinn Starburst Publishing Ltd., som gav ut tidskriften Starburst. Mycket tack vare denna tidskrift fick han senare arbete hos Marvel UK, där han rapporterade direkt till Stan Lee. Skinn lämnade Marvel UK 1980 för att istället grunda bolagen London West End Studio System och Quality Communications, där den senare är mest känd för att vara förlaget bakom serieantologin Warrior. År 2010 fick Skinn ta emot ett Guinness-rekord för att ha varit med om att publicera Doctor Who Weekly, som den längst publicerade tidskrift som är anknuten till en TV-serie. (sv)
