Gardner Fox – Lambiek Comiclopedia
Gardner Fox – Wikipedia
Fox wrote more than four thousand comic book stories, making him probably the most prodigious and imaginitive superhero comics writer in history. Fox began his comics career by writing stories for the early issues of National’s Detective Comics, and by issue #33, he was helping to write and develop Bill Finger and Bob Kane’s newly created character Batman, contributing to his evolution by creating Batman’s utility belt and introducing Bruce Wayne’s parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne. Fox helped create and wrote stories about dozens of iconic Golden Age comic characters, including The Flash, Sandman, Hawkman, and the Justice Society of America, which in the midfifties he’d turn into the Justice League of America for DC, while also revamping many of his earlier characters. ~ Drew Friedman’s Heroes of the Comics: Portraits of the Legends of Comic Books – Fantagraphics (2014)
