After his 1958 departure from comics, Schwartz developed the now well-known techniques of psycho-graphics, typological identification and others, as Research Director for The Institute for Motivational Research. He also provided strucural and marketing advice to some of America's largest corporations ranging from General Motors to General Foods. He was subsequently appointed to an advisory committee of the American Association of Advertising Agencies Schwartz wrote extensively outside of comics. He authored three novels for Arco Press. His novel, The Blowtop was published by Dial in 1948. Under the title Le Cinglé, it became a best seller in France. He also wrote and lectured on superheroes at various universities and received a prestigious Canada Council Grant for a study on the religious symbolism in popular culture, using Superman as a springboard. In 1968, he moved to Canada, where he wrote many documentaries for the Canadian National Film Board, as well as a number of economic and social studies for the Canadian government. In the 1980s, he wrote a metaphysical autobiography, An Unlikely Prophet and a weekly web column while writing. Alvin Schwartz died in 2011 of heart-related complications. (Bowker Author Biography) |
