[edit] NPOV issue

Perhaps it isn't so much POV as tone and style, but it could use a touch-up. It seems to me that the entire article was written for a magazine or other published work. But how to prove it? Of course there's the rather colloquial tone of the entire article, but the dead give-away is the remark, " Don’s Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, and Barbara Gordon will forever be those characters for me." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JethroElfman (talk • contribs).

I agree with you that this needs to be cleaned up. I love Don Newton's work too, but the tone really isn't appropriate for a Wikipedia article. --JamesAM 00:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree too; just take these sentences from #The Phantom: "Since Don was stylistically reinventing the character, it was all too appropriate that Don's first work on the Phantom would be a retelling of his origin. From the beautiful cover painting through 23 pages of story Don made it clear that the Phantom was alive and kicking.". I think it's a good idea if one would just start the article anew, with clean sheets. Jon Harald Søby 21:08, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
