Information About

Dennis O'neil




Dennis "Denny" O'Neil is a Comic Book Writer and Editor , principally for Marvel Comics and DC Comics in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.

His best-known works include '' Green Lantern / Green Arrow '' and '' Batman '' with Neal Adams , '' The Shadow '' with Mike Kaluta and '' The Question '' with Denys Cowan , all of which were hailed for sophisticated (for the period, in the case of his 1970s work) stories that expanded the artistic potential of the mainstream portion of the medium. As an editor, he is principally known for editing the various Batman titles. Today, he sits on the board of directors of the charity A Commitment To Our Roots .

His 1970s run on Batman is perhaps his most well known endeavour, getting back to the character's darker roots after a period dominated by the campiness of the ''" by Frank Miller , to the movie '' Batman Begins '' in 2005.

His work has won him a great deal of recognition in the comics industry, including the Shazam Awards for Best Individual Story for "No Evil Shall Escape My Sight" in Green Lantern #76 (with Neal Adams ), for Best Writer (Dramatic Division) in 1970 for Green Lantern, Batman , Superman , and other titles, and Best Individual Story for "Snowbirds Don't Fly" in ''Green Lantern'' #85 (with Neal Adams) in 1971.
