Sad Monday

I've just been informed that Arnold Drake, the co-creator of Deadman, the Doom Patrol, and countless other favorite characters and comics of mine, has passed away.

 I got to meet Mr. Drake a couple of times at the San Diego Comic-Con, and he always impressed me as a smart, funny, quirky fellow -- a real original, as original as his work always was. I hope he knew how many of us loved the books he created.

 Rest in peace.

Yeah. Dammit. One of my favorite superhero writers. And he always seemed like a really smart, funny dude from interviews.

Bonus points for both reading and commenting favorably on Grant Morrison's run on the Doom Patrol. :)
