  Dick Giordano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giordano is probably best-known as an inker, particularly over the pencils of Neal Adams, on an influential late 1960s and early 1970s run at DC Comics that redefined the characters of Batman, Green Lantern and Green Arrow, although he has also pencilled.
In the late 1970s Giordano was lured back to DC by its new publisher, Jenette Kahn.
Giordano went into semi-retirement in the early 1990s, although he does the occasional inking job, and in 2002 was part of the launch of Future Comics (with writer David Michelinie and artist Bob Layton).

 Dick Giordano Interview - Comic Book Artist #1 - TwoMorrows Publishing
Dick: It was Steve Ditko, believe it or not, who made the pitch from DC.

Dick enjoyed his first year as Robin, regarding the job as an adventure until a confrontation with Two Face served as a rude awakening for the young hero.
Dick endured brainwashing at the hands of Brother Blood, his relationship with Starfire would suffer due to her marriage of state, he would be deeply affected by the fact that Batman trained a new Robin (Jason Todd) only for him to be killed at the hands of the Joker.
Dick Giordano said 'Let's go with it!' Since Dick Grayson has been established as being 19, and Batman has been established as 29 (the way Superman and all the other male characters are).

 Ink 19 :: Dick Giordano: Changing Comics, One Day At A Time
But this was not the end of Giordano's association with the DC superheroes; indeed he helped define them to “the outside world” for several years in the ‘70s.
This book is an entirely agreeable tribute to Giordano and his work, but I couldn’t quite shake the feeling that there was another story to be read between the lines, or that I was seeing only the tip of an iceberg.
This may not be the most valuable contribution to the library of books about comics ever made, and Dick Giordano may not be the most talented editor/illustrator/inker the field has ever seen—although that is perhaps arguable in the inker category.

 Charlton Comics
This was indicative of the attitude brought about in 1966 when Dick Giordano became the editor at Charlton.
All of these creators got their starts at Charlton under editor Dick Giordano, and the Charlton comics produced at this time have an exuberance brought out by young artists set free.
The new titles failed to catch on, and Dick Giordano left Charlton for DC comics in 1968, where he brought many of the Charlton writers and artists (including Denny O'Neil, Steve Ditko and Jim Aparo) and ignited a new renaissance of great comic books there.

 The Diana Prince Index page 8
Giordano's familiar touch lessens the shock of transition to a new penciller -- and unfortunately, Don Heck was not one of my favorite artists, though he was far from being my least favorite.
As for Denny, he apologizes in the lettercol for missing the fact that this was Big Issue 200 until after most of the issue was on press, and promises big things for issue 300 instead.
In this issue, Diana gives an intro for the story as if it concerned her as a girl, whereas in the original the intro named the protagonist as Wonder Girl, as a separate character from Wonder Woman, and indeed I'd classify this as a Donna Troy adventure.

Giordano's style blended perfectly with Adams' own: deep fls rendered in bold, confident strokes; sketchy linework which resolved itself into naturalistic shadows and detail under the eye.
