Steve Gerber has died.
September 20, 1947 - February 10, 2008
From the WIkipedia bio of Stever Gerber:
"Stephen Ross "Steve" Gerber was an American comic book writer best known as co-creator of the satiric Marvel Comics character Howard the Duck.
Other works include Man-Thing, Omega the Unknown, Marvel Spotlight: Son of Satan, The Defenders, and Marvel Presents: Guardians of the Galaxy.
At the time of his death, he was writing Countdown to Mystery: Doctor Fate for DC Comics, having briefly worked with a version of the character in 1983.
He was also known for including lengthy text pages in the midst of a comic book story, such as in Man-Thing, Howard the Duck, Son of Satan, Defenders, Nevada, and his graphic novel, Stewart the Rat.
Gerber was posthumously inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2010.
...In 2007, Gerber was diagnosed with an early stage of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and was eventually hospitalized while continuing to work."
Tom Spurgeon at Comic Book Reporter has a good bio with
highlights from Gerber's career.
