Julie Schwartz
Comics legend Julie “Be Original” Schwartz is in the hospital with pneumonia. Everyone else seems to be pointing to Harlan Ellison’s message board for updates (and reminiscing), so I’ll do the same just to avoid confusion. Hopefully his health will improve…Mark Evanier has a few words about people who have presumed the worst about Mr. Schwartz’s mortality in the past. (His permalinks don’t seem to be working right at the moment, due to having to code it all by hand, but it’s the Dec. 16th entry.)
A three-issue Lex Luthor story from the mid-80s was interrupted by a surprise 70th birthday tribute issue prepared for then Supes-editor Schwartz by the creative staff.
