I had the good fortune to talk with Len Wein, who would have been 70, about various elements of his Batman run in the Bronze Age — a run that’s woefully underrated.

— UPDATED 6/12/18 —

The ever-popular Len Wein was born today in 1948. He would have been 70 years old. Sadly, he died in September. But I was fortunate to talk with him a while back about his time on Batman, which is my favorite of his lengthy body of work. That talk became the foundation of the 7-part LEN WEIN INTERVIEWS.

Check out the links below, because I promise you that you will be entertained. And as a bonus, I’ve added our interviews about his Batman ’66 one-shot, based on Harlan Ellison’s treatment of a Two-Face episode that was never produced.

So pull up a couch. If you’ve never read these, enjoy. If you have, enjoy them again! — Dan
