Marvel Comics
Chase began working for Marvel in 1985 when she was hired as an assistant editor of Marvel's Special Projects Department. She then went on to do work as a freelance writer and designer.
In 1986, she was promoted to Editor.[2] She had a lengthy run as editor of Marvel's line of G.I. Joe comics, including the flagship title G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.
In 1988, she took over the editorial reins of The Incredible Hulk, editing that title for 10 years.
In 1989, while editing John Byrne's The Sensational She-Hulk series, she came into conflict with the creator, and he was ultimately fired from the series.[3] In 1990, she edited the Steeltown Rockers limited series.
During her time at Marvel, Chase was cited in the company's "Bullpen Bulletins" news and information page as both "Battling" Bobbie Chase[4] and "Breathtaking" Bobbie Chase.[5]
Because of her tenure on Marvel's G.I. Joe comics, in early 1991 Chase worked with Hasbro and Impel Marketing (Upper Deck Company) on developing the first sets of GI Joe trading cards.
In the early 1990s, Chase had long tenures as editor of Ghost Rider and Doctor Strange. With her associate editor Evan Skolnick, Chase revitalized those monthly series, which were critically lauded and boasted relatively strong sales (taking into account the general sagging of the comic book market at that time).
In late 1994, Chase was made Editor-in-Chief of the company's Marvel Edge imprint,[6] which published comics aimed towards older teens, including such titles as Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, Ghost Rider, Incredible Hulk, and Punisher.
In 1995, Chase became Executive Editor of Marvel Entertainment. During this period, Chase was the editor for a number of Star Trek comic book series, including:
In 1997, she edited the Heroes Return limited series, featuring the return of Captain America, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and several other superheroes.[7] Chase (along with Peter David and Adam Kubert) was nominated for a 1998 Harvey Award for Best Single Issue or Story for The Incredible Hulk #-1.
She took over the editorial reins of Iron Man in 1998, staying in charge of that title until 2001. From 1999 to 2001 she was editor of Fantastic Four.
Chase was laid off from Marvel in 2001 when Joe Quesada and Bill Jemas took over the top posts.
