My lord. This is completely unexpected. I'll have to look up the details. Quite the loss. So soon after Bernie Wrightson. Tragic.

Very, very sad news... a strong case could be made of Len Wein easily being in the Top 10 as one of most influential comic book writers in the business.

RIP

I hope his passing was an easy one and that he knew how appreciated he was.

Since learning of his passing, I've been thinking about how many
comics he wrote that I loved. The list is long. Really long.

His death is noted on the IMDb. Appropriate. Comics are being taken more seriously than not so long ago, and Len's work laid much of the groundwork for that.

It's funny how certain books stay with you. I don't know why I loved it so much
but as a kid I must've re-read this issue literally a hundred times. Mr. Wein
gave me a lot pleasure.

He was also in at least one X-Men movie
