Len Wein’s house fire

Harlan Ellison has reported that Len Wein‘s house has burnt down. Wein was not only the co-creator of Swamp Thing and Wolverine, but he also wrote some of the greatest Justice League stories of all time including the 1970s reintroduction of the Seven Soldiers of Victory. Thankfully Wein and his family are unharmed. Good luck to them as they rebuild.

No fund raising for them has been announced yet, Ellison made it clear that his friends are waiting until the Wein family have assessed the situation themselves. However, it occurs to me that June’s issue of JLA will be a fill-in issue by Len and there are plenty of trade collections on the shelves that he wrote. I’m sure he’d appreciate the royalties if you were so inclined to buy one of his DC works.
