In the early stages of 13th Dimension, I sat down with one of my favorite writers, Denny O’Neil. The result was The DENNY O’NEIL INTERVIEWS, a series of discussions exploring the highlights of his Bat-career. The site has grown quite a bit since then — meaning there are lot of folks who probably never saw these stories the first time around. But they are, in every way, timeless.
So, here’s a handy index to The DENNY O’NEIL INTERVIEWS — with links to each — that you can peruse. But do check them out because you’ll dig ’em.

What a truly invigorating interview

This is cool and all, but I would much prefer to have the whole unabridged, unsegmented interview all in one page. Having to jump back and forth to this main page after every little segment was kind of annoying. Same with the Neal Adams interviews.

In fairness to Dan, it is an index. If you haven’t already, check out TwoMorrows publishing. They have extensive coverage of all the “greats” of the past.
