Sabir Pirzada is a Pakistani-American television and comics writer and producer who has written for Marvel Comics and independent comics. He is best known for his work on the Marvel Studios' Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel streaming shows and co-writing Ms. Marvel comic books alongside actress Iman Vellani.

Career

Pirzada's first comic book, Affliction, was published in 2014 by Arcana Comics. In television, he got his start as a writer's assistant on Person of Interest. This opened doors to getting him jobs as a TV writer. He was part of Disney-ABC's Writing Program in 2017 after which he became a staff writer on The Crossing. After working on Roswell, New Mexico, he was picked to be a part of the writer's room for Ms. Marvel and then Moon Knight. In March of 2022, it was announced that he was developing a Nova show, but after two years, he was replaced by Ed Bernero.

In September of 2022, it was announced that he would be writing the two-issue tie-in Dark Web: Ms. Marvel, with art by Francesco Mortarino. In February of 2023, it was announced that he and Mortarino would also be the creative team for Cult of Carnage: Misery, about the character of Liz Allan, for Marvel's "Summer of Symbiotes."

In July of 2023, after the character of Kamala Khan had been killed and then resurrected during the 2023 Hellfire Gala, Marvel announced that she would star in a new four-issue mini-series, Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant, set during the Fall of X and written by Pirzada and Iman Vellani. In November, it was announced that they would write a follow-up mini-series, Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace.

In February of 2024, Image Comics announced that Pirzada would write a science fiction anthology comic called Dandelion. The book's artists include Martín Morazzo , Vanesa R. Del Rey, Eric Koda, Roy Allan Martinez, Gegê Schall, Thomas Campi, Adrian Rivero, Juha Veltti, and Marquis Rogers. In July, he was announced as one of the creators involved in Pornsak Pichetshote's "The Horizon Experiment," a group of five one-shot comics by creators from marginalized backgrounds. Pirzada's issue, The Sacred Damned, would be about a "Muslim John Constantine."

In June of 2024, Marvel announced that he would be writing Spirits of Vengeance, a new six-issue mini-series starring various Ghost Riders, and Venom War: Lethal Protector, starring Silver Sable and a new Symbiote Squad. In December of 2024, it was announced that he would follow up the Spirits of Vengeance mini-series with a new book called Spirits of Violence.
