Sept. 23,1956-May 24, 2025
Word came early this week that novelist and comic writer Peter David, who has worked for DC and Marvel, adapted movies and comics, wrote his own novels, and had been suffering from health issues, passed away at 68 years old. Here’s a look at his official and very long bibliography, and a here’s a look at his career and health issues. He leaves behind along with a legion of fans in novel and comic circles, having done everything from the Hulk to Star Trek in both media and in the Star Trek audio drama Cacophony, which I actually own but didn’t know he wrote. He also wrote for TV and video games, but comics and novels will be what he’s most remembered for.
Many of us will never get to meet him, but his large body of work lives on. He understood how to fashion a story in the media being used, and even wrote the same characters in both books and comics, and used their strengths to their fullest, a rarity even at his peak and even less so today. My condolences to his family and friends he also left behind who knew and loved him best.
