Gardner Fox was a man of incredible imagination and the remarkable ability to put his ideas down on paper, whether it was in prose form or in thousands of comic books.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, he earned a law degree and started practicing law but the Great Depression forced him to find other ways to make money. He found that in the offices of Detective Comics. Though he did not create Batman, he was one of the earliest writers on the series and cmae up with many of the 'standards' including the very handy utility belt.

Other characters he either helped create or flesh out include the first Flash and Hawkman. He created the Justice League, a rework of the Justice Society.
