Not good news at all.

 

Oh damnit, Gerber was so awesome on titles like Howard the Duck and Man-Thing. And he was doing a current story for DC that I guess will be finished by someone who isn't Steve Gerber...man.

 

Obit from Gerber's close friend:

Specifically, Gerber was story editor on Season 3, although he didn't write any episodes himself.

He also wrote one of my all-time favorite GI Joe episodes: "There's No Place Like Springfield" where Shipwreck gets knocked unconscious during a rescue op and wakes up several years later to a world where Cobra has been defeated and he's got a wife and kid. It blew my mind when I saw it, and then it ended on a cliffhanger and I don't think I slept at all that night anticipating how it would end in the next episode.

 

I remember that episode quite well, I loved it.

Too bad though, I never like seeing this kind of headline.

 

I'm crushed...

steve gerber was one off my favorite creators.

howard the duck was the best.

 

rest in peace, i thank you for giving me an awesome childhood and something to grow up with, good bye Steve Gerber

 

RiP Steve Gerber. You helped my sickly childhood LIVE.

 

Thanks for some great childhood memories Mr. Gerber. R.I.P. My prayers go out to his family.

 

This guy was great. This is horrible news. 60 isn't that old.

 

Thanks for all the great memories. My condolences to his family and friends.

RIP - Steve Gerber

 

Damn. A salute to Mr. Gerber then! You will be missed greatly!

 

God speed steve! :{

 

Sorry for my ignorance but was transformers co-created by americans and japanese people?

And the news is very sad. I loved G1 all the way.

 

Rest in peace.
