Murray Boltinoff

Although Craig Yoe has stated that "Murray had got Henry [the] job",[3] Don Markstein reported that it was actually more difficult for Henry to sell artwork to Murray, as "both [strove] to avoid any appearance of favoritism".

[5] As an editor, he oversaw the creation of the Doom Patrol[6] in My Greatest Adventure,[7] and came up with their tagline, "The World's Strangest Heroes".

[13] Haney was not the only one to comment on Boltinoff's memory: Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes writer Jim Shooter recounted that Boltinoff "would forget the character's [super-]powers"[14] and "seemed to have early stage Alzheimer's.

[17] Grell subsequently described his conflict with Boltinoff over the lack of racial diversity in the Legion's 30th-century setting, noting that Boltinoff had forbidden him from representing a corrupt police officer (in Superboy #207's "The Rookie Who Betrayed the Legion") as that setting's first black character, on the grounds that "'You can't do that because there's something negative in that character.'

(...) Murray felt that would make the character appear weak"[18] and "we've never had a black person in the Legion of Super-Heroes, and now you're gonna have one in there who's not perfect";[19] Boltinoff also promised Grell that a black character was forthcoming and, in Superboy #216, Tyroc was introduced.
