For myself...my first real reading of his work as a writer was in Marvel's Daredevil and Iron Man. He was the one who made Jim Rhodes as Iron Man/War Machine possible. And when he went back to DC to edit the Bat-books and write his version of The Question...well...

This is going to hurt for a while.

A long time ago in the pages of The Question, as written by Dennis O'Neil and illustrated by Denys Cowan and others, it was said that Hub City, the titular character's home town, was modelled somewhat loosely upon East St. Louis, Illinois.

After seeing this item on the neighbouring town of Cairo, I wonder if that town was the only inspiration that Mr. O'Neil had in mind.

Or was Cairo in better shape back in the late 1980's?

Might it still be so, and this page isn't telling the whole story?
