Gardner Fox is perhaps, by and large one of the least-known writers of the Golden Age of Comics (early 40's to mid 50's) since its begining. He created the gas-mask wearing detective the Sandman, wrote some of the early stories for Bob Kane's character the Bat-Man (later Batman), stories for the Golden Age Flash Jay Garrick and with Sheldon Mayer helped to create the Justice Society of America; the first superteam, predating the Justice League and the Fantastic Four by three decades. During the Silver Age (1956-1970) he created the Multiverse with a story appearing in The Flash #123 entitled "Flash of Two Worlds" and also helped create the Justice League of America. Fox continued to work with comics until his death in 1986.
