Farewell Steve Gerber
You will be missed

 

Steve Gerber

September 20, 1947 - February 10, 2008

 

Best known as the creator of Howard the Duck, Steve Gerber established a reputation for working at the cutting edge of comics. In a career spanning more than thirty years, Steve put words in the mouths of virtually every major character in the comic book world — from Superman to Scooby Doo — and his work has appeared under the imprint of almost every major publisher in the field. He has also written extensively in animation and television, and even has a computer book to his credit.

 

Steve's major comic works include Man-Thing, Omega the Unknown, The Phantom Zone, Void Indigo, Shanna the She-Devil, Tales of the Zombie, Marvel Spotlight: Son of Satan, Defenders, Marvel Presents: Guardians of the Galaxy, Foolkiller, The Legion of Night, Nevada, Sludge, A. Bizarro, and Hard Time, as well as long runs on Sub-Mariner and Daredevil.
