Martin and Carrie Nodell were the original fun couple of conventions. Carrie adored Caroline, partly because Caroline is, well, adorable…and also because–and please forgive me if I’m misremembering–“Carrie” was short for “Caroline,” so they shared the same name.
When Carrie passed away, I talked with Marty on the phone, and he told me he was so certain that he–whose health was more frail than hers–would be the first to go. He seemed stunned, and so were we all.
Now the creator of Green Lantern is with his beloved Carrie, where there is No Evil, escaping one’s sight or otherwise. I have an autographed lantern that I bought from him sitting right here on my desk. I will always beware its power.
