Revision as of 11:43, 14 September 2005 by Finbarr Saunders (talk | contribs) (Removed redundant stub)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)- This article is about the comic book writer. An unrelated Denny O'Neil is a Canadian radio personality under the professional name Bob Magee.
Dennis "Denny" O'Neil is a comic book writer and editor, principally for Marvel Comics and DC Comics in the 1970s.
His best-known works include Green Lantern/Green Arrow and Batman with Neal Adams, The Shadow with Mike Kaluta and The Question with Denys Cowan, all of which were hailed for sophisticated (for the period, in the case of his 1970s work) stories that expanded the artistic potential of the mainstream portion of the medium. As an editor, he is principally known for editing the various Batman titles.
His 1970s run on Batman is perhaps his most well known endeavour, getting back to the character's darker roots after a period dominated by the campiness of the 1960s TV show, and emphasizing his detective skills. This grimier and more sophisticated Dark Knight, as well as new villians such as Ra's Al Ghul, brought Batman back from the verge of pop culture oblivion. His work would influence later incarnations of Batman, from the seminal comic "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller, to the movie Batman Begins in 2005.
