Remembering my Marvel Comics boss and friend Len Wein, born on this date in 1948, who left us much too soon. I met him in 1971 when I was but a 16-year-old fan who had no thought of ever working in comics, and he eventually became a mentor ... and then more. I wish he was still here with us.
Remembering legendary comic writer Len Wein, who would have been 78 today. Co-creator of such pop culture mainstays as Swamp Thing, the New X-Men (including Wolverine), the Human Target & so much more, a Wein credit meant you *must* read it. His PHANTOM STRANGER was life-changing. Left us in 2017.
Sonny and Cher made their first television appearance OTD in 1965, singing on Dick Clark's AMERICAN BANDSTAND. There is discrepancy on whether they performed "Just You," "I Got You, Babe" or possibly both songs. (A cursory search failed to bring up the footage.)
Horror movies grew up in a big way when ROSEMARY'S BABY opened OTD in 1968, coinciding with the paperback release of Ira Levin's best-selling novel. It opened the door to a host of big-budget, classy, serious horror films, as well as a new generation of writers. Essential.
Happy 53rd anniversary to John Jameson's debut as the lupine Man-Wolf, occurring in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #124 and hitting stands OTD in 1973.
Remembering the 49 victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando.

Producer Irwin Allen was born OTD in 1916. He became known for his 70s disaster movies like THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE and THE TOWERING INFERNO, but for my generation he's also famous for his many 60s science fiction TV series. He died in 1991.
