RIP Brian Augustyn

[The Baron]

Mark Waid has announced on Facebook that writer/editor Brian Augustyn has passed away after a sudden, severe stroke.

[Travis Herrick (Modular Mod)]

Oh wow, that's so sad. I wouldn't have guessed he was 67 though, I thought he was younger.

I always enjoyed his work.

[Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod)]

Oof. Such horrible news. 

If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend Archie: 1941, a WWII-era miniseries that Brian wrote with Mark Waid, with art by Peter Krause. It's excellent.

I read Archie 1941. I didn't recognize his name. It was very good.

They also did Archie: 1955, which I haven't read yet. I think that's what I'll read to remember him.

I'll be getting the TPB of this.

A real loss, of a talented writer (and editor, I have to assume).
