Carrie Nodell, R.I.P.

Martin and Carrie Nodell

Deep sympathies to the co-creator of Green Lantern, Mart Nodell, on the death of his charming spouse, Carrie. The Nodells met in October of 1941 and were married less than two months later. (Carrie always said, "I was in the wedding shop, picking out my dress when I heard Pearl Harbor had been attacked.") They were inseparable thereafter and she aided him, in a non-drawing capacity, with his work as a comic book artist and later as a commercial illustrator. The last decade or so, Marty has been a warm and welcome presence at comic conventions and we all came to love Carrie, who was never far from his side.
