Sad to see this. I don’t think he was ever considered a “hot” writer but I enjoyed his Defenders run. It was different and he cemented the membership to being Hellcat, Nightwing, Valkyrie and Hulk in my mind. And it’s probably been retconned out but he gave Nick Fury a villainous gay brother. You knew he was gay because he liked Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, lol. In those days that was actually cutting edge. I have the latest Defenders Masterwork of his to read and will put that on top of the pile.


Fair play!
