Arnold Drake, RIP

[Binker]

Arnold Drake, best known to have created The Doom Patrol and Deadman, died today. He was known to be sick before, as he collapsed a few days after attending the New York Comic Book Convention (Feb. 23-25). I felt I should let those who are fans of his know about it.

You love arguing semantics dont you? Deadman was Faust.

Felix Faust certainly loves to pretend.

RIP for the man, he created an awesome character in Deadman.

Heh. When I first saw this thread, I thought Tim Drake had lost another relative.

In any event, RIP.
