Editing Gardner Fox (section)

===Leaving DC===
Fox stopped receiving work from DC during 1968, when the comics company refused to give health insurance and other benefits to its older creators. Fox, who had written a number of historical adventure, mystery and science fiction novels during the 1940s and the 1950s, began to produce novels full time, using his own name and several pseudonyms.<ref name="comicsalliance" /> He produced a small number of comics during this period, but predominantly produced novels, writing more than 100 in genres such as science fiction, [[spy fiction|espionage]], [[crime fiction|crime]], [[fantasy fiction|fantasy]], romance, western, and [[historical novel|historical fiction]].

Among his output was the modern novelisation of the [[Irwin Allen]] production of ''[[Jules Verne]]'s [[Five Weeks in a Balloon]]'', two books of the "Llarn" series; five books about the barbarian swordsman Kothar, starting during 1969 with the anthology ''Kothar—Barbarian Swordsman'',<ref name="Kothar">{{cite book|last = Fox|first = Gardner F.|title = Kothar—Barbarian Swordsman|date=April 1969|publisher = [[Belmont Books]]}}</ref> and four books about the adventures of "Kyrik," starting with ''Warlock Warrior'' (1975).<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/f/gardner-f-fox/|title= Gardner F.
