When I was a little kid, I read Batman - I couldn't wait to read a Batman comic book. To me there were only two writers - and one artist - in the comic book world. You, Stan, and Jack. Rest in Peace! You influenced a little boy to become a man who writes and has imagination that he passed on to his children. Thank you for giving me that imagination.
