Dennis J. "Denny" O'Neil has died at age 81. As confirmed by his family, the legendary comic book writer died at home of natural causes on the night of June 11.

O’Neil was best known for his work on Batman, which included writing Batman, Detective Comics, and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, as well as editing DC’s Batman titles from 1986 to 2000. He, editor Julius Schwartz, and artist Neal Adams are credited for guiding the Dark Knight back to his darker roots after a period of campiness brought on by the success of the 1960s Batman TV series.

People don't realize how big this loss is. Denny was amazing. One of the best writers and editors DC (and Marvel) ever had.

Oh no. Oh man I dont know what to say. He was so important to me growing up for what he had written and given me. I dont really have the right words right now

Well, I pulled my Hard Traveling Heroes trades and read GL/GA #76 (O'Neil's start on GL); 85 and 86 (the anti-drug issues). I think I'll read #87 too since it's next in the book and Stewart's debut.

Actually, it's an interesting time to re-read these because there's this speech in 76 about how divided the country is that could be about right now.
