Before there was Superman or Batman, before Ray Bradbury or Harlan Ellison ever picked up a pen, before there were sciencefiction fans and conventions, there was Julius Schwartz a man who would have an indelible effect on all this and more.One of the inventors of sciencefiction fandom in the thirties and publisher of the first SF 'fanzine' (one of its early subscribers was Superman's cocreator Jerry Siegel), Julius Schwartz became the world's first SF specialty literary agent while still in his teens. During the 'Golden Age' of science fiction, he represented a distinguished roster of authors, including H. P. Lovecraft, Alfred Bester, Robert Bloch, and Ray Bradbury. But that was only the first chapter in Schwartzs amazing career, for he is also one of the most influential editors in comicbook history.Besides working on both the Superman and Batman character she created much of the mythology we now take for granted. Schwartz was also responsible for revitalizing nearly every important DC Comics character, highlighted by the mighty Justice League of America, in what has since become known as comics' beloved 'Silver Age.' Over more than forty years, Schwartz captained such blazing talents of the comics industry as Bob Kane, Bill Finger, Curt Swan, Neal Adams, Denny O'Neil, Alan Moore, and many others.Here, in 'Julie's' own words, is a behindthescenes look at a life spent having fun and making sure readers did, too the incredible story of a true hero of American pop culture.
