IMO #DCComics & the late, great #JulieSchwartz messed up by not putting #JimStarlin on the main #Superman. Wolfman was bringing attention to #ActionComics, esp. the chapters by GOAT #GilKane, so having someone like Starlin could have really brought the heat before everything was wiped. #ComicSky
Love Todd Klein's overview of the DC offices in the 1960s - with photos and a floorplan.
"...then there was Mort Weisinger. Definitely a larger-than-life character, but not one I’d loan money to..."
