John Marc DeMatteis (born December 15, 1953) is a comic book writer, usually credited under the name J. M. DeMatteis. He wrote the story for Star Wars 46: The Dreams of Cody Sunn-Childe under the pseudonym Wally Lombego due to changes made by Lucasfilm to his original plot. He wanted Lando Calrissian to accept Cody Sunn-Childe's pacifist views but Lucasfilm overruled him and had the ending changed.
