The people behind these storied creations (the writers, artists, inkers, colorists, letterers, editors and more) continue to etch their names into history with the work they do. None has etched their name into the marble of the comics industry more so than <strong>Denny O&#8217;Neil<\/strong>, who passed away on June 11, 2020 at the age of 81. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Denny was a titan among the craftspeople of comic books. A gifted writer and editor, he breathed new life into some of DC&#8217;s most iconic creations, putting them into stories and battles that dealt with genuine problems in addition to the typical superhero adventures. His two most prominent revitalizations were <strong>Batman<\/strong> and <strong>Green Arrow<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flickeringmyth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/1973_09_batman_251_adams-600x887.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the campy and kid-friendly nature of the 1960&#8217;s TV show, Batman was in turn made more fun for the comics. Under the guidance of Denny, alongside artist <strong>Neal Adams<\/strong>, Batman shifted his focus towards grounded criminals and would battle against countless villains, including a <strong>Joker<\/strong> that was returned to his homicidal roots, a revived <strong>Two-Face<\/strong>, and new foes <strong>Ra&#8217;s al Ghul<\/strong> and his daughter <strong>Talia<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pyxis.nymag.com\/v1\/imgs\/b66\/e7b\/a82c856592e318ee4619bbec3a83863511-lantern-3.w710.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Green Arrow had received a cosmetic change courtesy of Neal Adams in <em>Brave and the Bold <\/em>#85, it was Denny who shifted Oliver Queen into the persona fans know and love today. Stripping Queen of his fortune and status, Denny shifted the hero into a champion of the disfranchised and a voice of left-leaning politics. Often sparring with Green Lantern, the Green Lantern\/Green Arrow comic found this unlikely duo confronting all manner of social issues, including racism and drugs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flickeringmyth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Green-Arrow-drugs-issue.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While these comics had moments that were goofy and fun, they proved that the medium was no longer just for kids. By calling awareness to prevalent issues such as racism, drug abuse, and urban crime, this allowed costumed heroes to become more to relatable to readers, thereby changing the industry and setting it on the the path to where it is currently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reactions about this loss have been overwhelming, with professionals sharing their thoughts and memories of Denny O&#8217;Neil and his impact on the industry as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DC mourns the passing of Dennis \u201cDenny\u201d O\u2019Neil, who co-created some of DC\u2019s\u2014and the industry\u2019s\u2014most important comics.
