About the Author

Alvin Schwartz (1916-2011) wrote Superman and Batman strips as well as many other DC comics during the 1940s and '50s. In 2006 he received the Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing. He was the author of An Unlikely Prophet and The Blowtop, which was described by the New York Times as the first conscious existentialist novel in America. He also wrote a number of screenplays and some thirty docudramas for the National Film Board of Canada.

Reviews

Quite fitting for this unique talent and singular human being, who started out writing Fairy Tale Parade and made his four-color exit at stage left with Bizarro!”
*Roy Thomas, author of Stan Lee's Amazing Marvel Universe and longtime writer and editor at Marvel an*
