Gardner Fox
Gardner Francis Cooper Fox (May 20, 1911 – December 24, 1986) was an American writer known best for creating numerous comic book characters for DC Comics. Comic book historians estimate that he wrote more than 4,000 comics stories.
==Early life and career==
Gardner F. Fox was born in Brooklyn, New York.〔 He was raised Roman Catholic. Fox recalled being inspired at an early age by the great fantasy fiction writers. On or about his eleventh birthday, he been given ''The Gods of Mars'' and ''The Warlord of Mars'' by Edgar Rice Burroughs, books which "opened up a complete new world for me."〔 He "read all of Burroughs, Harold Lamb, Talbot Mundy," maintaining copies "at home in my library" some 50 years later.〔
Fox received a law degree from St. John's College and was admitted to the New York bar in 1935.〔 He practiced for about two years,〔 but as the Great Depression continued he began writing for DC Comics editor Vin Sullivan. Debuting as a writer in the pages of ''Detective Comics'', Fox "intermittently contributed tales to nearly every book in the DC lineup during the Golden Age."〔 He was also a frequent contributor of prose stories to the pulp science fiction magazines of the 1930s and 1940s.
A polymath, Fox included numerous real-world historical, scientific, and mythological references in his comic strips, once saying, "Knowledge is kind of a hobby with me".〔 For instance, during a year's worth of ''Atom'' comic strip stories, Fox referred to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the space race, 18th-century England, miniature card painting, Norse mythology, and numismatics. He revealed in letters to fan Jerry Bails that he kept large troves of reference material, mentioning during 1971, "I maintain two file cabinets chock full of stuff. And the attic is crammed with books and magazines....Everything about science, nature, or unusual facts, I can go to my files or the at least 2,000 books that I have".〔
