[1] Forming a relationship with top editor Julius Schwartz,[8] Hanerfeld began visiting the DC offices (as well as meeting other like-minded fans).
[6] Doing double-duty was apparently too much for Hanerfeld: by mid-1969 he was having trouble maintaining a consistent publication schedule for TCR and, despite winning a 1969 Alley Award, by early 1970 the fanzine was no longer being published.
During the period 1969 to 1974, Hanerfeld also wrote stories for such DC titles as The Spectre, Phantom Stranger, and Justice League of America.
[8] Upon his return, he encouraged fellow East Coast comics industry figures to attend future editions of what became San Diego Comic-Con.
[10][8] From 1974 to 1987, Hanerfeld work on promotional tie-ins for Marvel Comics, producing minicomics featuring Captain America, the Hulk, Spider-Man, and Tarzan advertising Aurora models, Pez, 7-Eleven, and bubble gum.
