I’m going to re-post mostly the same list I had last year. I picked ancient people who were professionals in the field of comic books, and I had assumed that at least some of them must be on their last legs, and that there would be an abundance of comics-releated deaths in 2017… and there were, including near-misses from my list like Dan Spiegle, Berni Wrightson, Joan Lee, Sam Glanzman, Fabulous Flo Steinberg, and Len Wein, seemingly everybody except the people that I selected. Very frustrating. Nonetheless, I remain convinced that the Black Racer is coming…
Oh, and I’m adding Barbara Walters so as to head off any whining about how this is “themed” list or whatever.
