News

As part of DC’s 75th Anniversay panel at San Diego Comic Con, several DC legends talked with fans. Dennis O’Neil [misspelled by our source] proved to be his candid self.

On the topic of his Question run, here’s what was heard:

Another fan then also praised O’Neill for his run on the ‘The Question.” He asked O’Neill what drove him to tackle so many dark, political issues in the book.

O’Neill said it was partly due to an “astonishing amount of freedom” he was given in crafting the book. The impetus for the book was a conversation with Paul Levitz who told O’Neill, “Why don’t you forget about being commercial? Why don’t you push the envelope again?”
