from Cinescape...

Sam Loeb (son of Jeph Loeb) passed away on Friday, June 17th in the early morning. The seventeen year old had been battling cancer for three years. Sam had just completed the 11th grade.

At 15, he became one of the youngest comic book writers, published in Tales of the Vampires by Dark Horse. "He loved The Teenage Drama Workshop at CSUN, film, television, cartoons, politics, sushi, stand-up comedy, arguing and forever laughing," reported the LA Times.


Thanks to RN for the note.

If I'm not very much mistaken, Jeph Loeb also has a big hand in the Buffy: Animated project... That's where I heard that name before...

well speaking of vampy comics, this one store called me last nite, about the Angel comic, Cursed, they got it in so i have to go there soon, the problem is they're so far from me, but i love going there cuz they're just awesome, and have the best stuff to choose from. so sometime this week i plan to go there, just so busy with work and stuff. but i know this is supposed to be set after season 5 of Angel so it should be intersting.
