Just read online that comics creator Steve Gerber passed away. I can't claim great familiarity with Steve's work (he created, among scores of other things, Howard the Duck), but I did immediately recall the interview he gave last September with Newsarama. Here, Steve talks both about Countdown to Mystery and his illness, and I remember thinking how well I thought he spoke and how eager I was to read the series.

I'm going to be reviewing Helmet of Fate here in the not too distant future, and I'll be sure to put a link to any memorial organization at the same time.

Just saw online where Gail Simone talks about her own remembrances of Steve Gerber; worth a read.

Was going to talk about comics prices and some other things this week, but I'll save it for the next. Be good to each other!
