| | Obituary: Robert Kanigher |
 | | RK was a talented, driven speed-demon on the typewriter keys and once, in a pinch, dictated a "Steel Sterling" tale over the telephone to favored artist peer Irv Novick, who coolly beat the deadline doom, lettering RK's dialogue straight onto his art paper, as told. |
 | | Unigue among the DC editors in one regard, RK preferred that an artist both pencil and ink his own artwork and he hired the top talent; Jerry Grandentti, Irv Novick, Joe Kubert, John Severin, Mort Drucker, Russ Heath, (one exception was the Andru-Esposito team) and others, from whom he demanded their best efforts. |
 | | RK is one of a trio of the greatest of war comics writer-editors: Harvey Kurtzman, Robert Kanigher and Archie Goodwin. |
