Boy, what a Bizzarro world. "I wanted to be a lawyer but economics forced me into comic books."

Quote:
Master of the Multiverse And Legend Of The Justice Society: A Tribute To Gardner Fox

Gardner Fox is one of the most prolific and eminent comic book writers in the medium’s history. Born May 20, 1911, Fox had a career that spanned five decades. It’s estimated that Fox wrote around 4,000 comic stories for National, All-American, Timely, Columbia, Marvel, and EC, and scores of prose stories and novels. But he’s best-remembered as the man who gave the DC Universe its soul.

Like many creators of his generation, comic books were never Gardner Fox’s aspiration; they were an emergency chute at best. He was a lawyer for two years before the Great Depression made his practice untenable, and started scripting comics at the suggestion of his school friend Vin Sullivan, then editor at National Allied Publications.

So, if we just make Jay's practice untenable, then he can save comics...

In the end, I expect that he'll thank us.

Jay, I'm a little light this weekend. Can I have some of that up front?
