Paul Levitz has worked for DC Comics in various capacities for over 35 years, with tenures as an editor (ADVENTURE COMICS, BATMAN), a writer (ALL STAR COMICS, LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES), and ultimately President and Publisher. As a writer, he is best known for his long association with the Legion, which began in 1974 and has continued off and on ever since — with a particularly fan-favored run published between 1982 and 1989. In 2009 Levitz stepped down from his executive role at DC to pursue writing again full-time, and he is now the author of the relaunched LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES.
