Peter David

The comic book world lost a legitimate Great yesterday with the passing of writer Peter David.  He was 68.

David was a prolific author,  spanning several titles,  but his 12 year run with the Hulk was legendary. But don't limit his talent to that medium alone. He was an excellent prose author too, with a style that flowed so naturally it made me jealous.

I'm infinitely proud that books I read and loved in the '80's, the Photon series, were in fact written by David himself (although under the pen name of David Peters.) In my opinion,  that just cements the fact that I had good taste even as a kid. 

RIP sir.
