Person
Dennis O Neil began his career as a comic book writer in 1965 at Charlton, where then-editor Dick Giordano assigned him to several features. When Giordano moved to DC, O Neil soon followed. At DC, O Neil scripted several series for Giordano and Julius Schwartz, quickly becoming one of the most respected writers in comics. O Neil earned a reputation for being able to revamp such characters as Superman, Green Lantern, Captain Marvel and Batman, whom O Neil (with the help of Neal Adams and Giordano) brought back to his roots as a dark, mysterious, gothic avenger. Besides being the most important BATMAN writer of the 1970s, O Neil served as an editor at both Marvel and DC. After a long tenure as Group Editor of the Batman line of titles, he retired to write full-time.
