>>95246502
Based on his twitter he'd been in an out of surgeries lately, so it's probably just related to that. Really shitty.

He's going to rightfully be given most credit for creating Swamp Thing and Wolverine, but for my money his biggest contributions were his work as a DC editor, his fantastic Detective Comics stories, and his often unacknowledged work on Perez's Wondie revamp.

Thankfully I am seeing a lot of people reference his time as editor for both DC and Marvel on twitter and on Facebook.

I'll admit that I only really knew him for his part in the creation for certain characters but I had no idea how many classic books and runs came out during his time as editor for both companies.

I'm still perplexed by the amount of somewhat appropriate talent attached to Before Watchmen. I mean most of those were big names who could have, and probably should have, said no to that travesty. I was expecting JT Krul's and the like.

His Swamp thing is underrated because Moore came in and did one of the GOAT runs. Wein Swampy is still one of the better comics of the 70s.

I imagine it was solely a money thing for most people. You have a book that's not only guaranteed to sell in single issues but probably be reprinted for a very long time. Attaching your name to Watchmen is a good way to guarantee a steady royalty paycheck.

Also I'm sure some of the creators took a less cynical view and were just happy to get to to work on the beloved characters. Not everyone views Watchmen as a sacred cow that should never be expanded upon.

Oh, and Azzarello's career is dead too.

>>95247334
>Not everyone views Watchmen as a sacred cow that should never be expanded upon.

most people are more mad on Moore's behalf because when Watchmen was created, tpbs weren't really a thing, and DC promised Moore&Gibbons that they would get ownership of the series if the book went out of print.

since then, DC has never allowed the book to go out of print, its also perennially one of DC's best selling books, 30 years later.

>>95247334

Not that it's a sacred cow, but that it's more like a creator owned work than a big 2 book and the creator was being kept away from it in some ways. So it's a bit weird to do quasi against Moore's wishes.

It's not like Kirby tributes where he knew damn well his work was owned and always entwined with the big 2.

he went on to have a rather decent selling Wonder Woman series, and is currently doing an Image book with Eduardo Risso, and hes never really been a dude to have multiple books happening at a time any way.

>>95247359
>Straczynski... well, his career is dead.

JMS just went back to TV, he co-created Sense8 with the Wachowskis.

>>95247401

Moore had talked about doing either a Minutemen prequel or an actual sequel at some point. I can't recall if he nixed those ideas simply for not being good enough to pursue, or because of his problems with DC.

>>95247446
Yeah, if Moore had said "I did what I wanted with Watchmen I don't care at all now." then all prequels, Rebirths, Doomsday Clocks, etc, would be fair game.

To be fair he left Marvel very angrily and the majority of his career was at DC.

reminder that Alan Moore wanted to use the original Charleston characters for Watchmen, but DC editorial realized that they wouldn't be usable after the events of the book, and convinced him to create the eventual cast.

anyone who complains about respecting Moore's "creations" needs to remember that he had no respect for the creations of others as evidenced that by and all his bullshit with Lost Girls and LoEG.

>>95247530

Cooke did a pretty serviceable job, even though his contribution was just "Golden Age heroes, but with a secret edgy tweest".

You'd have to have someone who not only had a great appreciation and knowledge of comics history but who was also well-read enough to understand how these characters and concepts look to an outsider. There really is just no one quite like Moore and Watchmen is a work that I think can only come from a guy like him.

>>95247616

so what?
Moore did Work for Hire.

and public domain is bullshit defense for not being to create anything of his own worthwhile.

>>95247583

I agree with this mostly. Watchmen and Moore's circle logic about these things is perplexing. For all his talk about originality almost all of his major works revolve around riffing off of century old stories.

To be fair to the Charleston issue, I don't think he had a problem with that when editorial (Wein I guess?) wanted him to change it, but it was actually after that decision that he modified things even further. I think before that the Charleston Watchmen would have been rather watered down compared to what we got.

>>95247578
his influence was good on the show, the Wachowski's are what brought it down.

and the tranny was his idea, evidence of this is that Deleen in B5 was supposed to be a tranny but the voice didn't work so they kept her a girl from the start

Agreed, a big part of what makes Watchment so poignant is that it shows that you can only take these "serious superheroes" concepts to their logical extremes if you don't have to worry about a shared universe or brand protection.

I forgive Moore for his use of public domain and expy characters because it's something I have a fascination with as well. At his core he's just like any of the other ascended fanboys that got to write for their beloved Marvel or DC, just instead of Marvel and DC Moore is a fanboy for the entire canon of Western fiction.

I don't like saying he took serious superheroes to a logical extreme. Not to THE logical extreme. The fact that about nobody had powers is the problem here. It's a real world with some oddities. It's not a full fledged Marvel or DC with dozens or hundreds of magical and scientific marvels zipping by.

Also making superheroes "real" as a de facto atmospheric choice is doofy to me. These things should be pulp, fantasy, space opera, and so forth. Anything at all times as the story demands. Experiment with the same cast and story. That's what makes big 2 comics fun. Style isn't set in stone.

Like most people I imagine, when I first read Moore's Swamp Thing I hadn't read the original stories, and this issue was my first exposure to it.

It was odd at first how different it was. But a brilliantly kind /co/mrade secret santa'd me the Roots of the Swamp Thing DC Comics Classics Library collection and instilled in me a love of the original form of Swampy.

>>95247786

How much got retconned for the new 52 anyway? For Swamp Thing or Animal Man they seem to be an odd mix of just being the next volumes picking up after Brightest Day, and being relaunches.

Godspeed, Len. You and Bernie are probably whipping up some primo material in the afterlife and, if so, I can't wait to scrounge the back issue bins when my time comes.

damn. he must have been worth 200 million for creating that character

>>95249573
He didn't say it happened recently.

he got more money from Lucius Fox appearing in NolanBats than all of Wolverine's movie appearances.

He made more money from lucius fox than he did from wolverine.

>>95249597
made a shit sarcastic comment but ended up with decent information. Im glad he got something for his work

Wolverine is kind of a big deal

man I was just reading Perez's Wonder Woman the other day, never knew he scripted that before reading it

He's crippled his last bitch.

Damn, Giant Size X-Men was one of my favorite comics as a kid. RIP

I just remembered he wrote the Ozymandias story for Before Watchmen.

The industry press glossed over it. They have no real respect for anyone that was considered a part of the old guard. I hope Len gets better treatment than that.

>>95251520
Darwyn Cooke, despite being so loved within the industry, wasn't really that big a name (and wasn't really the old guard either). His biggest thing was New Frontier, which is reasonably popular but never really took off on the same scale as other popular limited series.

Wein, on the other hand, is one of the biggest names in comics.

Sorry, but Stan Lee created the X-Men. Not some minor staff member.

Wolverine wasn't even introduced in X-men

never mind him also creating Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and the other Giant-Size X-men

If dubs Stan dies within two months

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the X-Men but Len Wein and Dave Cockrum created the more familiar incarnation and it's most popular member.

Even his new series was a fun read. I'll miss him.

>>95246292
RIP

I'm not a big Wolverine fan, but the man really was an important staple in creating comic pop culture as we know it.

RIP

I've always enjoyed going back to my old Len Wein Blue Beetle comics. They were always strangely fun. I'll have to give them another read as a tribute.

>>95252553
Yeah, I don't have any pages by him on my phone.
Just cause you don't like Wolvie doesn't mean he's not one of the best. He's easily one of the most popular and definitely one of the most used in all of Marvel. Name me another Marvel character that is nearly as fleshed out as he is. Maybe Spider-Man and a couple Avengers but that's about it.

>Stan Lee STILL alive
He can't keep getting away with this!

I know most of the "literally who lmao" posts are bait but the attitude people take to older comics and classic creators is so fucking sad. Nobody has any historical perspective anymore, all that matters is shit from this decade.

If you consider yourself a comics fan and honestly don't know who fucking Len Wein of all people is, who is not just a guy with a couple good works being propped up because he's dead, but a guy who actually is EXTREMELY important to the history of Marvel and especially DC, your reaction should probably be that maybe you need to fucking educate yourself.

>>95256242
Kill yourself, Marvelcuck.

Why is it that when it comes to pay tribute to one of the greatest creators in comics, the thread is slow and small, but when it comes to post the very worst the industry has to offer, the threads hit the limits in a few hours?

RIP Len Wein, you were too good for this shitty industry and their even shittier fans.

Swamp Thing served as Alan Moore's big break into the American market, had a movie adaptation starring Adrienne Barbeau and a sequel starring Heather Locklear, a live action TV show and a cartoon.

But that was mostly in the 80s, and you're 12.
