Mike Lackey was a writer and editor for Marvel Comics in the 1990s. As writer, he worked on comics including Fantastic Four, Clone Saga era Spider-Man, Silver Surfer... and Beavis and Butt-head, where he wrote the first few issues.
During his run, he wrote four issues with Daria Morgendorffer in: #1, #3, #4, and #5. Under Lackey, Daria is a hyper-intellectual scold, which indicates a misunderstanding of the character!
