No one ever called Otto Binder #BOTD (1911-1974) lazy.

Writer of the Adam Link, Robot series in the pulps which were a huge inspiration to #Asimov and others. Then drifted to comics with long runs at Fawcett and DC and short runs at most others. DC editor E. Nelson Bridwell assessed Binder’s total output at "almost 50,000 pages of comics".

I love reading about golden age comic creators, these people who thought they were just churning out quick disposable kids fiction to pay the rent, but were actually carving out mythology that’s gonna outlive their great great grandchildren. Finally started reading Bill Schelly’s book on Otto Binder today. Barely past the introductions and the guy already seems more interesting than I knew.
