Thats very sad news. I can respect his choice not to go through treatment.

Growing up, his work on the Teen Titans was my favorite.

Very sad. Even though I had no clue who he was.

Pancreatic cancer is terrible, like his case, doctors often only find it when it is too late as a secondary thing.

I loved his work on the Avengers, especially his version of the Scarlet Witch.

I met him and he was so incredibly nice he ran and jumped over a table to take pictures with us. I've been reading comics since the 60s and the amazing detail he put into projects with writer Marv Wolfman such as Crisis and The New Teen Titans is the best hero art I've ever seen in the Big 2. He's also the best Wonder Woman writer ever. He actually is a legend.
