Wein also wrote for Marvel, and by 1974 he succeeded Roy Thomas as their editor-in-chief, overseeing the “Marvel Premiere” arc that year that introduced Iron Fist, as well as the creation of the international second generation of X-Men. One of Wein’s earliest accomplishments was the creation of Swamp Thing with artist Bernie Wrightson for July 1971’s “The House of Secrets” #92. Dave Gibbons reported he had been talking to Wein earlier in the day to reminisce about their work together on “Green Lantern” at Rose City Comic Con in Portland.īorn in New York City on June 12, 1948, Wein and his childhood friend Marv Wolfman enjoyed touring the offices of DC Comics when they were open to the public on Thursdays, and eventually interned for the company. His cause of death is still unknown, but as indicated on his Twitter page, Wein had been in and out of hospital for various surgeries. Former Marvel and DC editor and writer Len Wein died on Sunday, aged 69.
