Awright..my last post was a bit of fun..BUT...

I have to say that Mort was one of the greatest comic book editors of all time. At least, in my opinion.

He may have been a jerk...he may have been an ***hole, he may have been a genuine monster...I really don't know because I never met him. I've heard all kinds of horror stories about how he treated his staff. Especially Jerry Siegel. And, certainly, Roy Thomas has no love for him.

But, he sure knew how to sell comic books. And, he sure knew how to keep me coming back every month for more of the same. With the exception of Stan Lee, I know of no other comic book editor who was so in-tuned with his readers.
