Pop! Goes the Icon

Howard the Duck creator and comic book legend Steve Gerber died yesterday right here in my own backyard. He was at MountainView Hospital in Las Vegas being treated for pulmonary fibrosis. It’s eerie, because he was blogging the whole time (up until about a week ago) and still working on new comic book material in his hospital bed. What dedication!!

Wauuuugh.

Visit his blog at http://www.stevegerber.com/sgblog if you want to learn more about his recent and past works. Mark Evanier, one of my favorite people in the comics/animation industry, is doing what he can to maintain Gerber’s web presence during this rough time.
