such people dont get recognitoin they should.one of the unsung heros of popular comic culture.worked on some fine titles it seems.

[stront692]

he was also DC president for many years after he retired and hepled steer the company

if u look on the credits of any DC comic the last two decades his name is there in the small print at the bottom

[Matt Timson]

Yeah- there was some Kieth Giffen joke (probably Ambush Bug) about travelling to the end of time and the guy was still alive and *still* running DC!

[Priv8eye]

very sad.  

I remember him in a few of the Ambush Bug stories.

[stront692]

he was dcs version of still

but not as shameless at self promotion

heh

[Dunk!]

I remember hearing Julius Schwartz speak at a convention. He was very funny and self-deprivating about his acheivements and by the end i feel a legion of young fans, who hadn't really heard of this old man, realised they had heard a great man speak.

Very sad.

Yeah, I remember those Ambush Bug snippets of Julius wisdon. Two of his pearls that I live by are 'A Day without Doris is like a Kabuki without make-up' and 'The Wise man goes when he can, the foolish man when he has too'.
