	Talent Pool 22 - Julius Schwartz (Sep 2000)
		Julius Schwartz, born in the Bronx in 1915, would live an early life in geographical proximity to the New York centers of the publishing industry, whose physical nearness may have helped shape his future inclinations as a literary agent and editor.
		Schwartz would encounter a number of talents who would come to do short pieces of work and then go on to greater fame, leaving him wishing he had enticed them to leave behind more pieces before moving on.
		All this defines Schwartz as a figure of importance on a scale to Lee in the developments of the Silver Age, inasmuch as Schwartz' concepts provided the ground in which Lee's metaconcepts (such as the redefinition of the superhero and the creation of a new comics editorial model) could flourish.

		Schwartz is never one to not blow his own horn, but it is always done with tongue pressed firmly in his cheek and a whimsical proud smile on his face.
		Along the way, Schwartz often goes into delightful side tracks and stories explaining who some of the forgotten (or never heard of by later generations) greats were in both the SF and comics field.
		Schwartz is probably comicdom's most honored creator and he has actually appeared as a character (often times named Julius Schwartz) in no less than fifty separate comic book stories.

		Schwartz was hooked on science fiction from the moment he saw the first issue of Amazing Stories, back in 1926, when he was only 11 years old.
		Bester knew that Schwartz would be feeling the same financial pressure that he was feeling, so he suggested the Schwartz apply for a job as editorial assistant to Sheldon Mayer at All American (later National, or DC) Comics.

	The All-New All-Different Howling Curmudgeons: My Julius Schwartz Story
		I only met Julius Schwartz once, briefly, when as a fan, I was attending one of the Chicago Comicons, back when they were called the Chicago Comicon, a dozen years ago or so.
		It's indisputable that Schwartz was primarily responsible for DC's Silver Age and, via the Justice League, indirectly responsible as well for the publishing decision that resulted in Marvel's Silver Age.
		Schwartz's effect on the Golden Age of Science Fiction is well-attested, but he was influential, not seminal, and this was a comic book convention, not a science fiction convention, and science fiction does not have a Silver Age as such, so I did not conceive of his question applying to science fiction.

		In 1961, Schwartz led the comics industry into a new dimension, literally, with the invention of "parallel universes." where different versions of familiar characters, along with many long-forgotten characters, resided.

		Julius Schwartz is very private, he is not world-changer at all - but from the first meeting with Mort Weisinger he was in the bussines of improving of the reality.
		Schwartz' memoir tops out at about 190 pages, which seems rather thin considering he worked in the SF and comic book industries for over 50 years.
		Schwartz is clearly more interested in being an entertainer, and that's fine, as he's got a lot to entertain us with.

		Schwartz took Ray on as a client when Ray was still a relatively unknown and unpublished (save for fan publications)writer, and for that Ray's readers can all be very grateful.
		Schwartz's characters/lives were cut from the same cloth, but each was set to a different (fine-tailored) suit - Sports & Sci-fi.
