I don't know if this is in the right forum or not if not the mods can move it.

Denny O'Neill was the man who is credited for giving Optimus Prime his name has died age 81.

He also did a lot of work for Marvel and DC he is most famous for writing the famous Green Lateran/Green Arrow: Hard Traveling Heroes which revived the Green Arrow and he also revived a character called Batman (both runs with artist Neal Adams) making him the dark knight detective. He work on The Amazing Spider-Man as well.

He also worked on TV shows like G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and Batman: The Animated Series.

So Rest in Peace Mr. O'Neill and thanks for the memories.
