His Green Lantern/Green Arrow is seminal. I’ve thought that would be the perfect DC movie- the two heroes traveling America during TFG’s presidency…

Shows "the works" and everything. Very explicit for a kid's book.

and although he was very talented and a great story teller he was also a bit of a bully with people.
Not a very nice guy overall.
But a great talent.
Sometimes it's nice that most work in the comics industry is done by mail.
At least back then.

Got Shuster and Seigel money for Superman. Helped start many, many comics careers and always an ambassador for the medium.

He could be prickly at times, but he could also be encouraging.
