Christian Cooper (born 1963) is an American science writer and editor, and also a comics writer and editor. He is based in New York City. In 2023, Random House published Cooper's memoir, Better Living Through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World.[1]
Career
Cooper is currently a senior biomedical editor at Health Science Communications.[2] On May 16, 2022, National Geographic announced Cooper would host a show on their American TV channel called Extraordinary Birder, following showing species of bird around the world.[3] The show premiered on June 17, 2023.[4]
Comics
Cooper was Marvel's first openly gay writer and editor.[5] He introduced the first gay male character in Star Trek, Yoshi Mishima, in the Starfleet Academy series,[5] which was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award in 1999.[6] He also introduced the first openly lesbian character for Marvel, Victoria Montesi[5][7] and created and authored Queer Nation: The Online Gay Comic.[8] Cooper was also an associate editor for Alpha Flight #106 in which the character Northstar came out as gay.[5][9]
Cooper has written stories for Marvel Comics Presents, which often feature characters such as Ghost Rider and Vengeance. He has also edited a number of X-Men collections,[10] and the final two issues of the Marvel Swimsuit Special.[11]
Personal life
Born in 1963 to parents who were both teachers, Cooper found his interest in birds while reading a birdwatching book during a roadtrip from his Long Island childhood home to California.[12] In the 1980s, he was president of the Harvard Ornithological Club, and is currently on the Board of Directors for NYC Audubon.[13] Cooper has a long history of LGBT activism including being the co-chair of the board of directors of GLAAD in the 1980s.[14][15]
On May 25, 2020, Cooper was involved in the Central Park birdwatching incident,[16] which led to the creation of Black Birders Week.[17] The incident is also the basis for his online comic book about racism, illustrated by Alitha Martinez and published by DC Comics, called "It's a Bird".[18]
