Kevin Dooley

Kevin Dooley is a former editor at DC Comics. During his time there, he served as the assistant editor to Andy Helfer and took over much of the titles following Helfer's promotion. Dooley edited the various "Green Lantern" books and "Aquaman". He also dabbled with writing comics, including "Mister Miracle" (third series-1996) [http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Mister_Miracle_-_Publication_history/id/5302685] , a stint on "Green Arrow", as well as an issue of "Superboy" ("The Adventures of Superboy" #21) and a "Scooby-Doo" mini-comic.

Perhaps his most notable accomplishment during his time at DC Comics is his overseeing of "Emerald Twilight", a story that marked a major shift in tone (and indeed persona) of Green Lantern, specifically the Hal Jordan Green Lantern, a long-standing marquee character for DC comics.

Beyond Green Lantern, Dooley also oversaw the "Aquaman" series wherein Aquaman had his left hand chewed off by piranha to be replaced by a hook.

Among the other titles Dooley edited are "Sovereign Seven" and "Vext".

Before Dooley came to DC Comics, from 1986 to 1988 he edited "Amazing Heroes" from Fantagraphics.

Dooley left the employ of DC Comics in 1999.

Dooley is now an English teacher working at Elizabeth Learning Center in Bell, California.
