He began his career at Timely Comics in New York City during the 1940s. A decade later, he became the main staff writer at Charlton Comics.
He collaborated in the 1970s with comic book artist John Byrne on the Doomsday + 1 series.
He was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania and grew up with a brother named Ray. He died at age eighty-seven, having survived both his wife and his son.
