I wouldn't call it 'small,' he was responsible for naming the most iconic character of the franchise.Quantum Surge wrote:Thank you for the small but impactful contribution, Mr. O'Neil.

I bought those issues on the stands. It came down to some ridiculous small number of calls in favor of Jason Todd's death. I should dig them out. That death sort of showed a turn in how cynical comic book fans had become, how the dark stuff of the 80s had culminated in that. He did a big op-ed in the comic of how didn't want Robin to die, and how sad he was it came down to so few votes in favor, but DC wouldn't welch on a promise.

He's been back for almost 15 years now, so in the end I guess everyone gets their wish.
To be honest though, I much preffer Tim Drake as a character, without Todd's death we wouldn't have gotten him.
