"Pekar, 70, was found dead shortly before 1 a.m. today by his wife, Joyce Brabner, in their Cleveland Heights home, said Powell Caesar, spokesman for Cuyahoga County Coroner Frank Miller. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death. Pekar and his wife, Joyce Brabner, wrote "Our Cancer Year," a book-length comic, after Pekar was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer in 1990 and underwent a grueling treatment. "

wow... what a loss... one of the good guys and one of the more human voices out there in the last 30 years... it seemed like he used the publicity from the AS movie to keep pushing more work out there... alot of the biographical and historical based stuff (his history of the beats, history of the SDS) he'd been doing in the past years was really interesting and like nothing else in comics...
