| Author Notes: |
A veteran of more than five decades in the comic-book field, Dick Giordano began his career as an artist for Charlton Comics in 1952 and became the company's editor-in-chief in 1965, launching the short-lived but well-remembered Action Heroes line. In 1967 he moved to DC for a three-year stint as editor and became part of a creative team that helped to change the face of comic books in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Together with writer Dennis O'Neil and penciller Neal Adams, he helped to bring Batman back to his roots as a dark, brooding "creature of the night" and raise awareness of contemporary social issues through the adventures of Green Lantern and Green Arrow. The winner of numerous industry awards, Giordano later returned to DC and rose to the position of Vice President-Executive Editor before "retiring" in 1993 to once again pursue a full-time freelance career as a penciller and inker. He passed away on March 27, 2010. |
