Legendary comics writer Steve Gerber passed away on Sunday, February 10, 2008, due to complications from pulmonary fibrosis. He was 60-years-old.
Best known for his creation Howard the Duck, Gerber was responsible for many of the memorable characters of the 1970s including Omega the Unknown, Man-Thing and Shanna the She-Devil. In the last two decades, Gerber authored celebrated Marvel Comics stories including runs on “Sub-Mariner,†“Daredevil†and “Defenders.†DC Comics published Gerber’s creator-owned works “Nevada†and “Hard Time,†both of which were met with considerable critical acclaim. In television, Gerber was a writer and story editor on such lauded series as “The Transformers†and “G.I. Joe.†He created “Thundarr the Barbarian,†and in 1998 shared a Daytime Emmy Award for his work on “The New Batman/Superman Adventures.†Prior to his death, Gerber was writing “Countdown to Mystery: Doctor Fate†for DC Comics. Truley sad news for us Joe fans :( |

Yes I enjoyed many of his works. Especially the Joe, TF, Thundarr, Batman/Superman cartoons, & Shanna the She Devil (as I love Jungle Girls).
Rest in peace. |

He wrote one of the hands down BEST joe episodes, "Theres no place like Springfield".
The funny part of that is, for YEARS I HATED that episode because as a kid I only ever saw the first part of it. Shipwreck was one of my favorite joes so it tormented me to no end to grow up thinking he was trapped in that plastic bubble forever lol I finally got to see the whole 2 part episode recently and loved it. Thank you so much Mr. Gerber, for all your contibutions to the various franchises we all grew up with as kids and still love to this day. You will be truly missed. Theres no place like Sprinfield. |
