Julius Schwartz, Force Behind Comics' Silver Age, Dies

Julius Schwartz was a major force in the comic book world. After World War II, superheroes were in decline, and the comic book industry was under attack in Washington for contributing to juvenile delinquency. As a young editor for DC Comics, Julius Schwartz started the "Silver Age" of comics when he revised and updated the superhero The Flash. Schwartz died last week at the age of 88.
