| Dwayne McDuffie made a portrait by his friend and collaborator Denys Cowan |
I learned with surprise and regret, the sudden disappearance of Dwayne McDuffie, writer U.S. divided his time between the world of speech bubbles (recently had occupied the Fantastic Four for Marvel and Justice League for DC Comics) and animation (only the day before yesterday was a preview of its projected last work, the feature-length animated feature from All Star Superman).

At the time of writing, the cause of death of Dwayne McDuffie is still unclear. There is talk of complications occurred during surgery made, perhaps as a result of an accident.
Dwayne McDuffie his debut in comics in the late '80s, as a member of the editorial staff at Marvel. At the house of ideas, McDuffie took care to play the role of editor for special projects, but pointed out especially for the hilarious Damage Control (a team of workers ready to take action to repair the disaster made by superheroes over the clashes with the villains) and a nice set of Deathlock (pages on which the union was born with Denys Cowan ).
leaving Marvel, McDuffie founded the Milestone label focused on the proposal for a fictional universe in which there was a majority of African American heroes (and for the achievement of which were used predominantly African-American authors). For Milestone , which was produced and distributed by DC Comics , McDuffie created Static (which was also the protagonist of an animated series called Static Shock, played in the most coveted slot in the U.S. , that of Saturday morning. The screenplay for one of the episodes of the series, focuses on youth violence and the use of firearms, earned him the victory of prestigious Humanitas Prize), Xombi and Icon .
