If he's so great...

Last night I'm reading Alfred Bester's Demolished Man in bed. Andy says, "What are you reading?"

"Only one of the greatest sci-fi writers in the 20th century."

"Oh yea? If he's so great, did he write Batman?"

I flip to the biogrpahy blurb at the front of the book and I read, "He then embarked on a career as a scripter for comic, radio, and television, where he worked on such classics characters Superman, Batman, Nick Carter, Charlie Chan, Tom Corbett and the Shadow."

Andy looked confussed. "You're making that up!"

"No, he rocked."

Here's a podcast from StarShipSofa discussing the qualities of Alfred Bester's work.
