Legendary Comics Writer Peter David Dies At 68

Sad to hear. He was a great writer. Rest in Peace.

[Thomas Seitz]

He will be deeply missed. He was a great writer and a good human being.

In the 1990s, thanks to my friend and his huge comic book collection, I was able to read Peter David's issues of The Incredible Hulk, X-Factor and Aquaman. But it's thanks to Peter David and his great storytelling talent that I read so MANY issues of those series'.

I heard from a friend that David had surmounting medical bills, which were preventing him from getting further treatment that he needed. How tragic.

For me, Peter David's iconic comics run was his work on the Uncanny X-Men, which defined the series for decades afterward. The stories and characters introduced there have been major players in the X-Men for decades.

Yeah, I contributed to the GoFundMe to help with those bills. Sad that it wasn’t all enough.

This is why we need something than private healthcare and indeed corporatized healthcare.

And only now I discover that a lot of comics I loved he wrote.

Many many thanks for all you gave us, Peter David.
