  Bob Haney, San Felipe Local Face
Bob Haney was also the author of Woodstock Handmade Houses, which was a bestseller and is still much in demand.
Bob wore a pair of shoes that could convince the most fervent skeptic that he was the original Wandering Jew.
Bob was then forced to change his pattern and up until his final stroke, he sunned himself in the mornings before the television at the Sundance Deli, where CNN spoke to him across a Danish and orange juice.

 BOB HANEY DIES - NEWSARAMA
Haney died at a nursing/hospice facility in El Cajon, CA where he was hospitalized following a stroke that had robbed him of his ability to speak or recognize people.
Haney was one of the great Silver Age comics writers, landing at DC in the mid-50s, where he soon came to write virtually every comic DC published at one time or another.
Bob Haney's work with Neal Adams helped return the "creature of the night" Batman, especially starting with Batman's team-up with Deadman, when we were reminded---like Deadman---Batman was created in tragedy, and he had started off searching for a killer too.

 NOTES from me
Metamorpho, especially, was Haney's attempt to bring to DC the kind of thing Marvel was doing...though this was not an intent he dared say aloud in the office.
Haney continued to work for DC but soon began struggling to find the right note in a changing industry.
Thereafter, Bob did most of his work for Murray Boltinoff, who for a time was the only editor in the office who actively preferred to work with "older" talent.

 Titans Tower: Bob Haney
Writer Bob Haney and editor George Kashdan started a boys' club after a hint from management.
"I knew better," says Haney, who lived in Woodstock and "went on protest marches, got hit by the cops and all that," but it would take another generation before super hero comics would deal with youth more realistically.
The fact that they were teenagers did not mean that everything they did had to reflect teenage problems." To Wolfman, the youth of his heroes meant not kid stuff, but strength, passion and ferocious independence.

 Titans Tower: Bob Haney Elseworlds
Scribe Haney's voice has been vacant for comics for many years, so this project is a fantastic chance for those who've heard about the original Teen Titans, but never had the chance to "experience" the good vibrations of the series to get wise to it now.
Haney's writing (and the old Batman TV show based on the then-current work of Haney and his contemporaries) appeals to kids who enjoy it for it's surface kicks, and adults who dig the subtext.
Stephens reports he be done with the pencils at the end of May, and expects the project to possibly be released in the fall.

 Unca Cheeks Silver Age Comics Site: Political Dissent 7
Haney's works were (often as not) imbued with a measure of antic playfulness which has, regrettably, long since fallen out of favor with today's All Angst, All the Time readership; a willingness to let the characters (every so often) look just the slightest bit "off-balance," or even downright ridiculous...
and the simple fact of the matter is this: Bob Haney's tenure on THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD demonstrably did entertain comics readers for well over a decade, with said title maintaining its healthy monthly status all that time.
None of which, however, is to say that I'm not above giving "The Commune of Defiance [THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #102; July, 1972; Bob Haney, scripter; the magnificent Jim Aparo, penciler] the patented Cheeks, the Toy Wonder "treatment," in the paragraphs to follow...
