He is probably responsible for turning more readers on to SF than any other individual, editing DC's Mystery in Space and Strange Adventures; then starting in 1956, revamping and reintroducing many of the Golden Age characters that he had worked with, such as Flash and Green Lantern, adding many SF elements to the revised DC canon.
