Steve Gerber, R.I.P.
I’m sorry to have to link to this obituary of one of the great comic book writers of all time, Steve Gerber. Gerber, most famously the creator of Howard the Duck, wrote smart, sarcastic, witty comics (and later, cartoons) that still had a strong core story. He broke the fourth wall without being smarmy. He commented on his work within his work. He embraced the ridiculous without making the reader feel hoodwinked. He was truly one of a kind.
