He introduced perhaps the most memorable war-comics protagonists: Sgt. Kanigher's greatest success, and most of his output, come from DC's war comics. He also wrote what's often considered the first story of the Silver Age, introducing Barry Allen as the new Flash, created stalwarts like Metal Men, Black Canary and Batman villain Poison Ivy, and at one point or another, wrote probably every single DC hero. He wrote the Justice Society, and then became the editor and writer of Wonder Woman, a title he would guide from 1946 all the way to 1968. ![]() His first (recorded) comics work was for Fox, writing the original Dan Garrett Blue Beetle, and soon after, the best-selling Captain Marvel Adventures, before joining All-American Comics, which would eventually become DC. He is the co-creator of Poison Ivy, Black Canary, Wonder Girl, Metal Men, Suicide Squad and The Flash, as well as hundreds of DC War Comics. The hometown of Nate Banks in the comic book themed kids' series of novels, The Amazing Adventures of Nate Banks, is named "Kanigher Falls". ![]() Streets and buildings have been named in his honor in several of DC Comics' fictional cities, including "Central City" and "Keystone City". Robert 'Bob' Kanigher (1915-2002) was undoubtedly one of the most important creators in DC Comics history, in a career that spanned five decades. ![]()

"Mixes hardscrabble Hawaiian reality with flights of wonder and the supernatural in a way that is wholly original." KAUI HART HEMMINGS, O: The Oprah Magazine IMBOLO MBUE, The New York Times Book Review "It's fitting that Sharks in the Time of Saviors, the radiant debut novel by Kawai Strong Washburn, immediately grips you in its jaws, plunges you into Hawaiian waters, and finally releases you, breathless and changed.The true magic of this tale can be felt in how Washburn alchemizes Hawaiian myth and lore into a modern family epic.There's something bewitching, too, in Washburn's prose-the furious, lively spell of it." "With prose that can be breathy and sweaty in one paragraph before gliding softly and tenderly into the next, this passionate writer cries out for us to see Hawaii in its totality: as a place of proud ancestors and gods and spirits, but also of crumbling families and hopelessness and poverty. ![]() ![]() With George's "crookedy fingers, going tappidy In one, the pair sits similarly posed, arms crossed over knees, while another spread allows readers to peer out from the recesses of the porch, over their shoulders and identical book bags. ![]() Muth's soft watercolors maintain visual interest with varied perspectives of the same porch scene.

The advantages of Ferry's version seem obvious to me: regularity of meter, clarity of image, simplicity of language, understatement of the horrific.
