I continue to be Mark Evanier.\u00c2\u00a0 And to the extent you can be delighted by anything in connection with a friend’s death, I’m delighted with the attention being paid, on this board and elsewhere, to the passing of Steve Gerber.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Today, I was\u00c2\u00a0interviewed by both\u00c2\u00a0The New York Times<\/em> and The Los Angeles Times<\/em> for obits that will run in the next few days.\u00c2\u00a0 I told reporters for both Times<\/em>es that if they wanted to understand what Steve’s work meant to people, all they had to do was read the comments being posted on the board here.<\/p>\n

They’re all wonderful, ranging as they do from folks who had personal relationships with Steve dating back for decades…to those who only knew him as the guy who wrote a favorite comic book. If you haven’t read through them all, you should. But have a Kleenex handy.<\/p>\n

As I said, I don’t know what the future of this board will involve but I’d sure like to see all these messages, and some of the others about Steve posted across the Internet, preserved on the web indefinitely. Just so that when folks Google the good name of Gerber in years to come, they’ll be able to read it all.<\/p>\n

Once again, I am closing off comments on the previous message and asking you to begin posting in the comments section of this one. If you’ve posted already in these forums, feel free to post again…especially if you can link us to some other interesting piece about Steve somewhere on the Internet. I’ll start by linking to this interview<\/a> that Gary Groth conducted with Steve in 1978.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
