Len Wein. He wrote Swamp Thing, Phantom Stranger, & my favourite Batman stories. He showed 12 year old me that comics could be literature.
Len Wein was the editor who brought the British creators to DC. He was one of the nicest people I\'ve met, in 30 years in comics.
Wein was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards’ Hall of Fame in 2008. CBR sends its condolences to Wein’s friends, family and loved ones at this time.
