This is a bummer, but at least he went peacefully and gracefully after a long career. In a way, any horror or sci-fi fan owes at least some gratitude to the man, even if you've never read a single issue of Famous Monsters Of Filmland or taken part in any of his other endeavors. He will be missed, but perhaps more sad a fact: there will never be another soul to embrace and also elevate the genre as much as he did.

(For those totally unfamiliar with him, the 2nd to latest issue of Rue Morgue had a wonderful series of articles/interviews about/with him - a good a place as any for an introduction!)
