  • He wrote my "Golden Age" Justice League of America! His contributions are too numerous to list.

  • Oh, no. This hurts.

  • Wein was one of the most solid writers during the Bronze Age. He shall be missed.

  • We saw him on panels a couple of years in a row at Wondercon. Same age as me and my wife.
  • It's funny, I was just talking about him with Jeff of Earth-J the other day.  I knew he'd done a lot, but I didn't realize just how much he had done.

  • Heartbreaking.  He wrote and edited so many things I enjoyed; from the time I first started reading comics in 1979, his was a familiar name.  May he rest in peace.

  • Ouch. Len Wein had his fingerprints on nearly everything from Marvel or DC through the Bronze Age. Just co-creating Swamp Thing gives him comics immortality, but to have that and Wolverine in his accomplishments is stunning.

    And then there's this personal favorite:

  • Sad, especially since he really wasn't that old.

  • Tom King might have put it best:

    “Len was the nerd’s nerd,” Tom King, the Washington-based comics writer for Marvel and DC, told The Washington Post’s Comic Riffs. “He was a fanboy of the generation of writers that [preceded] him, a leader and innovator of his own generation of writers, and an inspiration to the generations of writers that followed him.

  • He wrote some amazing stories. One of the best is "Whatever Happened to the Crimson Avenger," a backup story in DC Comics Presents. In 8 pages, it delivered an unexpected punch -- one that stayed with me, despite it starring a character I might not have ever seen before.
