Peter David, Marvel's Storytelling Powerhouse, Gone at 68

Remembering Peter David: A Comic Book Legend

Hey fellow fans, this week we lost a comic book legend, Peter David. If you’re a Gen Xer or just into comics, you know his genius - Hulk, X-Factor, Spider-Man 2099, yeah, those masterpieces.

He made superheroes feel human and gave us characters we totally connected with. Peter’s version of Hulk wasn't just a 'Hulk smash' guy; he had layers - complexity, emotion, intelligence – everything that makes a character relatable.

This episode dives into how his storytelling mirrored real-life struggles and made us feel seen. Also, a bit on his personal struggles and the unfortunate circumstances of his passing. Cherish those comic books, people. They're pieces of our history and humanity. RIP Peter David.
