That's the only SS I recall seeing of her, though there could be more. Aliens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayzr Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Crazy that both Steve and Stan passed in the same year. Aliens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzMan Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 It's not as if they are young guns, many of them were juggernauts of the 50s, 60s, and 70s so it was just a matter of time. I'll certainly miss them but they left behind a legacy that will live on in all of us and can pass down to our posterity. I'm glad that I know of them and their works.

FoggyNelson Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 It is fitting that Stan an Ditko pass away in the same year two of the giants Aliens, Lucky Baru, 1950's war comics and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) I personally lost 3 family members this year. One was very hard on me, and will forever leave an impression on me. My nephew Jon Paul Steuer was a great kid, he made a name for himself as an actor, and he was a very talented person. You know once a child actor isn't cute anymore Hollywood tosses them out like yesterday's trash, and Jon had his troubles with coping. He turned to drugs,and the depression was heavy. We all in the family thought he was on the mend with a great band , and his restaurant. Jon committed suicide on January 1st of this year, and it pains me to say that I wish I was more active in his life, and to be there for him even more than I was. So in the next year, my advice to you all is be closer to your family, and reach out to loved ones you don't normally talk to on a regular basis. You never know when it might be the last time you do.

ADAMANTIUM Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Sorry to hear that @oakman29 My uncle died this year in a motorcycle accident, maybe 2 months ago. Family is missed, and even family loved ones that aren't blood need our support! oakman29, Ken Aldred and MGsimba77 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Yes, 2018 has been very very rough for me as well. Here's hoping that we all have better years in 2019! ADAMANTIUM, Ken Aldred, oakman29 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmakt Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Years ago I got a Feldstein SS on Shock SuspenStories #1 at a Con... asked around on the board to see if anyone could find Jack Davis or Marie who were, I believe, the only other living creators at the time... (now, sadly, all gone... RIP) Awesomely someone got the JD sig for me, but in that same thread (not sure if it was the same person) someone said that Marie did not do SS as she was bothered by the financial incentive and windfall that others got from her work and sig. So... at best this is 3rd hand info and seen through a little fog of auld lang syne... Caveat Emptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI if anyone viewing didn't know -- the Google machine tells me this young man's roles included Worf's son Alexander on Star Trek TNG. So sorry to hear this @oakman29, it's terrible whenever suicide claims a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
