This makes me really sad; I loved Len Wein's writing style. He and I seemed to share an outlook on what superheroes are supposed to be.
thanks for everything, Mr. Wein.

Only 69 years old--yet he was in the business for nearly 50 years! That's a remarkable record.

As a writer, Len Wein was a master of both the long and the short form—able to produce huge, sweeping epics that spanned several issues, as well as heartbreakingly beautiful little stories in just a few pages.
As an editor, he was incredibly supportive of artists and other writers, giving them just the right amount help needed to work their stories into shape.
As a mentor, Len was always generous with his time, teaching clueless newbies—I was one of many—the nuts and bolts of their craft.
As a friend, he was one of the best. Back in the day, when just about all of us lived in or around New York City, Len was one of the crew who got together regularly after work—for dinner or a movie or a poker game. In more recent years, after we had all scattered to the winds, and we saw him occasionally at conventions, it was always a treat. Len would pick up right where we'd left off, as if we'd last gotten together just a few days before, rather than a few years.
We will miss him forever.

Len was part of a group of writers that rescued DC from what I call the relevance period and for that alone I will always cherish him. Rest in peace.

Interesting! Quote: Stroud: In fact, Len had divulged to me that he started out as an artist, so he still retained that artistic sensibility when he was telling a story and so it made it a little easier because he could speak the language a little better.
Bernie Wrightson: Absolutely. And don’t let him fool you. I don’t know what he told you about his drawing, but he’s really a remarkably good artist. I’ve seen some of his drawing and he’s terrific. He could do that for a living if he wanted to. https://www.nerdteam30.com/creator-conv ... -of-horror
