RIP Lein Wein, comics legend,co-creator of Wolverine

Well this sucks. This happened a couple of days ago but I just found out about it today. He gave me great memories from my childhood, creating or co-creating many many characters for both Marvel and DC . RIP sir.

Such a bummer. I remember seeing his name in the credits of dozens of the comics in my old collection.

I follow several comics professionals on Facebook and it seems like the entire industry was devastated by the news.

I was a fan as a kid, and when I was a teen I noticed his writing credits on lots of my Batman comics, mostly notably in 'Brave and the Bold'. I knew he wrote for X-Men and helped modernize the group in the 70's, but had no idea he had created the Swamp Thing.
