Dwayne McDuffie. Writer of comics and animated series. As yet no details have come to light but this is sad news.

Woah, that's shocking and quite unexpected. I was just reading about his work on the All-Star Superman movie the other day.

Wow, that's a real blow. I was definitely a fan.
He's only trying to be what following how his dreams make you wanna be, man!

It's not often that someone I don't know dying makes me angry with the universe- but this is one of those times.

Really sad news. Posts to his website suggest it was "complications due to a surgical procedure performed Monday evening".

COMMANDO FORCES

Nicholas Courtney has passed away, yes the Brigadier.

One of my favourite characters from my favourite era of Doctor Who  :'(

And what will become of the Scarifyers CD range now?
An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

Terribly sad to hear about the Brig. He was so keen to return in the main series but was too ill to commit to it.

I say we badger Moffatt to include some kind of on-air farewell to him. Because...

y'know he'll listen to a forum of 2000ad fans more than anyone.

Dark Jimbo

Gutted.  :(

Farewell, Brig.

He did at least reprise his role recently in the Sarah Jane Adventures.

Farewell to the mighty Brigadier, very sad news. I always loved his character and he seemed like a really good guy too. At least he got to live a long life I suppose, unlike Dwayne McDuffie. Absolutely tragic.

Indeed.  I wouldn't be a big JLA fan, but I enjoyed McDuffie's frank discussions of how the shifting tides of DCU eventism stymied one plan after another, and he came across as a very decent, very intelligent man.
