A fitting eulogy: On his blog, Neil Gaiman reprints a funny and touching eulogy for Julius Schwartz written by Alan Moore and read by Gaiman at the memorial service:

"And now we hear that Julie has been…discontinued? Cancelled? But they said the same about Green Lantern and the Flash back in the early 'fifties, so we can't be certain. This is comics. There'll be some way around it, be some parallel world Earth-Four Julie, born thirty years later to account for problems in the continuity, and decked out in a jazzier, more streamlined outfit."
