Probably best known for his Green Lantern and Batman work.

He wrote Iron Man 172, the first Marvel issues I ever read in it's original US format. His Iron Man issues are collected in the very first Epic Collection. Love them, severely underrated and criminally uncollected prior to Epics.

There's a volume to come to round those off plus a volume or so of his Daredevil

Plus a whole load of stuff he was editor for

He is also, according to Bob Budiansky, the man who named Optimus Prime

A sad loss, but what a body of work to leave behind.
