Timeline

1911

Murray Boltinoff (January 3, 1911 – May 6, 1994) was an American writer and editor of comic books who worked for DC Comics from the 1940s to the 1980s, in which role he edited over 50 different comic book series.

1930

Grell subsequently described his conflict with Boltinoff over the lack of racial diversity in the Legion's 30th-century setting, noting that Boltinoff had forbidden him from representing a corrupt police officer (in Superboy #207's "The Rookie Who Betrayed the Legion") as that setting's first black character, on the grounds that "'You can't do that because there's something negative in that character.' (...) Murray felt that would make the character appear weak" and "we've never had a black person in the Legion of Super-Heroes, and now you're gonna have one in there who's not perfect"; Boltinoff also promised Grell that a black character was forthcoming and, in Superboy #216, Tyroc was introduced.

1933

A graduate of New York University, in 1933 Boltinoff was hired as an assistant editor at the New York American—the first newspaper to hire his younger brother Henry Boltinoff as a cartoonist.

Although Craig Yoe has stated that "Murray had got Henry [the] job", Don Markstein reported that it was actually more difficult for Henry to sell artwork to Murray, as "both [strove] to avoid any appearance of favoritism".

1940

Henry Boltinoff subsequently began selling cartoons to Whitney Ellsworth at National Allied Publications, and suggested that Ellsworth hire Murray as an assistant, which Ellsworth did around the year 1940.

As an editor, he oversaw the creation of the Doom Patrol in My Greatest Adventure, and came up with their tagline, "The World's Strangest Heroes".

1968

When the Doom Patrol series was canceled in 1968, Boltinoff and artist Bruno Premiani appeared in the story to urge readers to keep the series alive.

Boltinoff revived Metamorpho as the backup feature in World's Finest Comics #218–220 and #229 after the character had a brief run as the backup in Action Comics #413–418.

Gina Misiroglu has described Boltinoff as Metamorpho's "savior" from post-cancellation obscurity due to his "tendency to stick [Metamorpho] into whichever comic [Boltinoff] happened to be working on at the time."

The character's creator Bob Haney later reported having read an interview in which Boltinoff claimed to have created Metamorpho, and attributed this to senility on Boltinoff's part.

Haney was not the only one to comment on Boltinoff's memory: Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes writer Jim Shooter recounted that Boltinoff "would forget the character's [super-]powers" and "seemed to have early stage Alzheimer's. Seriously. Ask his former assistant, Jack Harris. Murray would give me instructions, forget what he'd said, then be upset that I hadn't followed some orders he'd never given me. I ended up doing rewrites because Murray misremembered things."

While editing Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes, his actions included rejecting Dave Cockrum's proposal for a new character on the grounds that the character was "too weird looking" (Cockrum later repurposed the character as Nightcrawler), and

hiring Mike Grell as artist.

1988

Murray Boltinoff retired from the comics industry in 1988.

His final editing credit was Sgt. Rock #422 (July 1988).
