R.I.P.

Of course it’s always painful when one of your favorite writers dies–especially one who you read voraciously in your youth. What else is there to say?
I suppose I should have paid more attention to goings on, as I didn’t even know that he was sick. But goddamn. I wish I had read his blog, but now that he’s gone it’s too difficult: too many posts about what he was working on and his health problems for me to take.
What’s more, it made me immensely sad to see that, when looking for a picture for this post, the search term “Howard the Duck” mostly brought up images related to that god-awful movie. More people should know Gerber’s legacy, and while he was responsible for many wonderful creations, I think most can agree that Howard the Duck is way up there. Read up: either in cheap or expensive editions.
