James D. Hudnall. He was 61.
I mostly remember his writing stint on Alpha Flight.

This was sad to read. The first comment I saw which hit home was "Image has filled this void." which I found to be pretty fitting.

Sad, but, really, they've been in hospice care for a decade or more.

Re: R.I.P. and Thanks for Everything
They had recently fired up a few Sandman related books, with Neil Gaiman's name on them (even though he wasn't actually writing I don't think). Wonder what they'll do with those - cancel or move them to the DC adult imprint that Batman Damned would come out under....

Re: R.I.P. and Thanks for Everything
Dave Brune died on Friday. Not sure of the details. They found him in his home. He was 64.
I’ve mentioned him a few times in the past. He owned one of the several comic shops in the area. I first met him when he set up at local conventions, but I saw him regularly when I worked at the Movie Theater, because he’d come in every Sunday, the day his comic shop was closed, and order a small popcorn, small drink, and go see a movie by himself. Last year he had a stroke and his store was closed for several months. Then last August/Sept I helped him move all his stuff over to a new location over the course of several Sundays. I’d popped in a few times to see him since then, but not on a regular basis. The last time I saw him was when I bought Fables 150 from him a few weeks ago.
R.I.P. Dave, and thanks for everything. You will not be forgotten.

Mad Magazine's Mort Drucker.
You know his work even if you don't know the name (which I imagine you do). No cause listed yet, but apparently not COVID-19.

Denny O’Neil.
His contributions to the industry are immeasurable, but for me personally, he was the editor on the Batman books when I first started collecting and his “From the Den” essays from the letter pages informed a lot of my earliest opinions on the state of comics in general.
Rest In Peace Mr O’Neil.
