He lived until 1989 and was 64 at the time he left the title, but I don't know whether he went on to write anything else.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-20834732372688469142014-03-27T09:42:54.785-04:002014-03-27T09:42:54.785-04:00Oh, snap!

He gets into Argosy at least twice in '39 as Reed and shows up as Vern in 1941. Not sure whether there was any logic to his choice of name for any given story.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-31233942830613643022014-03-26T16:20:14.051-04:002014-03-26T16:20:14.051-04:00I remember "David Vern" writing a lot of...I remember "David Vern" writing a lot of Batman comics in the '70s. Naturally, fans were curious about this "new" writer who hadn't been published before, or so it seemed. Letter pages had fun making guesses, until the editor finally revealed Vern was David V.
