    Ugh, so sad to hear of this. He was such a fan and innovator, yet so respectful of comics tradition and history. Will Alter Ego continue?

    RIP sir.

      I just saw Kurt Busiek's, Walt Simonson's and your posts on Facebook on this in succession. Damn shame. He is a legend, and he will be missed and remembered. His creative legacy will endure as long as people remember Marvel and DC Comics. His legacy starts with co-creating Wolverine and Swamp Thing and continues through tenures as Marvel Editor-in-chief, editing one of the seminal works of the idustry in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's Watchmen and numerous other contributions, too many to even begin to list them all.

        Alter Ego is Roy Thomas' baby, not Len's.

            Arguably the most important force of the bronze age. Maybe he'll finally get the credit he deserves.

              Hopefully he will. Without Len or Roy, there would have never been a Bronze Age, so much of their work touched every character. Wolfman and Conway also.
              RIP Mr. Wein, I shall read again Batman #321 in your honor tonight.

                    How sad. I just finished reading the new Batman and the Outsiders collection book.

                      Terribly sad news. A true titan of the Bronze Age. R.I.P.

                        Truly sad news and truly a great loss to the comics world. Len Wein contributed SO much to the comics I read as a preteen, teen and young adult. He was a man of myriad talents who was able to respect source material AND innovate it at the same time.

                        Rest In Peace, sir, prayers of comfort and condolences to your family, friends and many, many fans.

                          Very saddened by this. His name was always welcome in the credit box as writer or editor. I know he's more famous for c0-creating Swamp Thing and Wolverine, but his JLA run may be THE classic satellite Bronze Age version of the team. Plus, his Batman run is VERY underrated.
