abstract
  • George Kashdan (17 May 1928—3 June 2006) was an editor and writer of comics. Kashdan wrote several Star Trek stories for Gold Key Comics after becoming known for a long stint at DC Comics from the mid-1940s until 1968. Born in the Bronx, Kashdan attended the University of Chicago and received a B.A.. He got his comic industry start mostly on smaller titles for DC, including Congo Bill and Green Arrow, and had occasional work on issues of Superman and Batman. Kashdan was promoted to a full editor position when his assignment on Aquaman graduated from a backup feature to its own book, and Kashdan eventually launched Metamorpho and the Teen Titans into their own comics. After leaving DC, Kashdan went to Western Publishing's Gold Key line to write for The Twilight Zone, Flash Gordon, and Star Trek. During this time, he also began a career writing scripts for various animated television productions, which, by the 1980s, would take him on a move to Los Angeles.

He got his start mostly on smaller titles, including Congo Bill and Green Arrow, and had occasional work on issues of Superman and Batman. Aquaman, a "back-up" comic strip that he had been in charge of became its own comic, and Kashdan was promoted to a full editor position, eventually launching Metamorpho and the Teen Titans comics. During this time, he also wrote scripts for various animated shows, including The Mighty Hercules and The Superman-Aquaman Hour. As part of a restructuring at DC Comics in 1968, Kashdan was shown the door. He returned to writing full-time, most of the work being done for Western Publishing, including many stories for Gold Key Comics. Books he wrote for included The Twilight Zone, Flash Gordon, and Star Trek. By the 1980s, his health had started to fail him and his work slowed as he relocated from New York City to Los Angeles.
