RIP Denny O'Neil

Had to note the passing of Dennis J. "Denny" O'Neil.  Creator of Ra's Al Ghul and Talia.  Creator of Green Lantern John Stewart.  Author of  some of the best Batman stories ever.  Author of the Green Lantern/Green Arrow "Hard Travelin' Heroes" stories.  Creator of Obadiah Stane and the man who first put James Rhodes in the Iron Man suit.  Editor of Batman's comics for fifteen years.  The man who picked Frank Miller to replace him on Daredevil.  And the author of the fantastic three year run of The Question in the 80s.  

In short, a comics industry legend.  He was 81, though long retired from comics.  He will be missed.  His work will be remembered for a long time to come.

I remember some of his Spider-Man stories being earlier works I enjoyed. But I really started paying attention to his Iron man stories. He didn't create Jim Rhodes, but he made us pay attention to him.
