My reaction was very similar to Gail's, somewhere between awe and disbelief: "what, Gerber READ my thing?" I mean it's STEVE GODDAMN GERBER. A lot of the guys I grew up reading in comics... well, their stars have faded a little -- they're retired, or they're recycling old riffs, or they're just not getting assignments at all. But Steve Gerber was doing vital, progressive, dangerous, elegantly-crafted work literally right up to his death. If there's a lesson there I think it should be the understanding that Real Talent Doesn't Age. I'm really going to miss seeing his work and the painful honesty and wicked humor he brought to it.
