[Jordysnordy]

Another sad day for the comic world 

[Larryw7]

That's a shock. I grew up with his stuff. How old was he?

[OrangeNemesis]

He helped make the X Men popular again. one of the greats man....

He was 69. One of the true cornerstones of the industry. New X-Men, Swamp Thing, editor on The Watchmen,  and also he was mostly responsible for getting British writers such as Alan Moore to work for DC in the 80s.

A sad loss indeed.

One of my favorite writers from the 70's and later.  69 is too young.

Oh No! the comics SS Marvel Preview 2 that I'm waiting to get back that is at CGC he signed, I guess it makes it all the more special, but dang kind of slaps me in the face all at the same time....

Was very sad to hear this. Spent so many hours reading & re-reading his stories as a kid.

Sad day...lotta great Marvel horror out of that pen too, in addition to everything else mentioned, correct?. RIP and thank you.

[Ken Aldred]

One of the iconic writers from the Bronze Age period during which I first started reading comics, and responsible for starting the process of reinvigorating my all-time favourite super-hero team. 

A sad loss.

Two years ago when I met Bernie Wrightson, he was on the phone talking to Len. He was telling me how sick his buddy was and he wasn't doing well. 

[shadroch]

I met him at the first Vegas Con and I had the Heroes Initiative Three Minute Sketch book with me.

He signed another book for me and asked to look through the sketchbook. To my surprise, he asked if he could do a sketch.  He drew a wickedly evil looking Batman in under two minutes.

Rest in Peace.
