Paul Levitz entered comics in 1971 as editor of The Comic Reader,
the first comics newszine, which won two Best Fanzine Comic Art Fan
Awards. He has received the Inkpot Award and the Bob Clampett
Humanitarian Award and serves on the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund
board. Levitz is known for his writing, including an acclaimed run
on the Legion of Super-Heroes, a series to which he's returned. On
staff from 1973, Levitz was DC's youngest editor ever, ultimately
becoming publisher in 1989 and president and publisher from 2002 to
2009.
Artist Michael Jon Grell quickly made a name for himself in comics
by tackling one of its most difficult assignments-the seemingly
infinite universe of the Legion of Super-Heroes. From there, Grell
joined Dennis O'Neil for a well-received Green Lantern and Green
Arrow revival and might have become a regular contributor to the
Batman office if his creation Warlord had not taken off to become
DC's most successful fantasy title ever. Grell (whose other works
of note include Jon Sable, Freelance, Starslayer, and Green Arrow)
still writes the occasional Batman tale.
