		Len Wein, a long-time comic writer, is perhaps most well-known for creating DC's Swamp Thing with artist Bernie Wrightson.
		Len Wein: It was thrust upon me by chance.
		JZ: And Len was listed as the "packager," which I assume has something to do with editing them.

	ipedia.com: Wolverine (comics) Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Len Wein is the writer credited with creating the character, but he was more fully developed by creators such as Chris Claremont, John Byrne, and Frank Miller.
		Wolverine first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #180 (October 1974), albeit only in the final panel of the issue, which was written by Len Wein and illustrated by Herb Trimpe.
		Written by Wein and drawn by Dave Cockrum (who changed the headgear in Wolverine's costume somewhat), the issue was successful enough to revive the then-defunct X-Men comic book series, starting with #94 (August 1975), drawn by Cockrum but written by Chris Claremont.

		02-12-2004 11:51 PM also worth noting is that len wein intended him to be a psychotic french canandian teenager, with spider-man level strength, and a very high level of durability.
		Len Wein essentially created a throw away charachter, that weirdly enough evolved to one of the faces for Marvel comics.
		Len Wein created a crap character that Claremont (and to a lesser extent Hama) molded into a great character, who has since been turned into a marketing and media whore.

	Batman: Nevermore - PopMatters Comic Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Wein easily slides Batman into Poe's milieu, and makes fast friends of the two larger-than-life figures.
		Wein attempts to write a comic book using Poe's old-fashioned lyricism, throughout, as if the famous poet lifted his quill from the House of Usher to pursue police beat reporting.
		Wein never slips, maintaining a literary tone rarely seen in comics.

	COMICON.com: DC PRESENTS BATMAN & LEN WEIN
		Wein was only too happy to work on this issue.
		some of my favorite len wein stories include the calendar man story he did with walt simonson, the "it was a dark and stormy night" (again with walt simonson!) story he did for the anniversary issue of "detective comics", and the werewolf story he did with neal adams.
		Len's presence at both DC and Marvel is sorely missed, as writer and as editor.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Swamp Thing
		… story by writer Len Wein (Teen Titans, Brother Voodoo) and artist Berni Wrightson (scads of mystery/horror stories for various publishers), about a man murdered and dumped in a swamp, whose body metamorphosed into a muck monster that rose from the mire to wreak vengeance upon his killer.
		In the ongoing series, the man in the muck was Alec Holland, a handsome young scientist, and his first mission in hideous, shambling post-life existence was to avenge the murder of his wife, done in by the same criminal outfit that put him in the swamp.
		But Wein and Wrightson were unable to stay with it beyond its 10th issue, and their replacements were not as well received by readers.

		The stories by Wein were why this graphic novel got four stars instead of five.
		The Swamp Thing even left his swamp long enough to battle Batman in issue #7 in what would be one of the few encounters with a traditional DC superhero for the supernatural star of the comic.
		Wein and Wrightson's "Swamp Thing" became a cult classic among comic fans because of its dark, moody Gothic style, but mainly on the strength of the artwork by Wrightson, whose style was perfectly suited for this comic.

	TheFourthRail.com - Snap Judgments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Geoff Johns/Carmine Infantino tale is reminiscent of some of the better Batman Animated series episodes, and Len Wein's tale, while based on a modern pop-cultural conceit, really does evoke the spirit of those classic short stories from '70s comics.
		Wein's style is unapologetically old school, which means that the dialogue is kind of clunky, but he takes the notion of reality TV and maps it onto Batman in an interesting fashion.
		The way Batman investigates and the way he deals with it are both very much the kind of thing you'd see in a classic Silver Age comic, complete with a sort of goofy, comedic finale, but the premise is so much fun that I don't mind the old school touches.

	The Wolverine Files 027: Death in the Family
		Originally, Len Wein was slated to write this two-part Nefaria story as Giant-Sized X-Men #2, but when the series was awarded bimonthly status, Wein turned the plot over to a relative newcomer and Wein's former associate editor, Chris Claremont.
		It is interesting to note that by the end of this issue, Wein's plotting had cut the X-Men down from thirteen members to six.
		This seems to bolster Chris Claremont's suggestion that, “Len [Wein} had intended Colossus to be the star of the book and Storm to be the girl, and Nightcrawler to be the tormented demon and Wolverine to be essentially the Johnny Storm-Hawkeye hothead.”

	Cinescape - Home - Editorial
		Luckily, the two writers chosen to create new stories based on an old concept cover from BATMAN #183, Geoff Johns and Len Wein, each have ideas of their own and they don't see the concept cover as a straitjacket.
		The marriage of Len Wein's script and Andy Kuhn's art, on the other hand, shows what the first story could have looked like had the editor decided against the nostalgia factor.
		Given the slightly more modern flavor of Wein's script, about a reality TV series created from illicitly taped footage of Batman's encounters with his rogue's gallery, Kuhn's contemporary approach is all to the better.

		Synopsis: UGO chats up comics vet Len Wein about his upcoming comic and film projects include 'Gene Pool' and 'Swamp Thing'.
		Plans are for the new movie to have a tone that is more like the dark horror of the comics and less in the campy vein of the previous movie and TV franchise.
		Corona Coming Attractions did some quick follow up on the report and learned that Wein's take on the material will be faithful to the character's dark horror roots (no pun intended), unlike the previous Swamp Thing movies that played for camp.

		Over by a wall, paying notable inattention to those who were going before him, was a stocky man with a head you could have traced in a circle template.
