Love that short story,the art is brilliant and the use
of cliche is genius.

Incredibly sad news. Len Wein was a giant. A huge loss for the comic book community. My condolences to his family and friends.

Thanks, Greg - I was wracking my brain trying to think of where JB and Len had worked together. I believe that was the only time.
On another note, I'm thinking about BATMAN/HULK, and how in the tradition of Hulk calling Nighthawk "Bird Man" and Dr. Strange "Magician", he calls Batman...."Bat Man!" Simple, but brilliant.

I was very charmed to learn, through JB's "Big Enilwen" character from She-Hulk, that the man who created Wolverine, one of the darkest, most violent of all super heroes, also collected teddy bears. Sounds like a well-rounded human being. Condolences to the people who loved him, which seems like just about everyone.

He's one of those on a short list whose impact on comics is far greater than casual readers might imagine. Beyond creating Swamp Thing and Wolverine (not to mention several of the All-New X-Men), he was a brilliant editor and mentor to many.
Comics as a whole owes him a huge debt of thanks.

Very sad news. Len was truly a "comic man" if such a title exist. He enriched, created and influenced the comic industry.
