FAREWELL, DAVID ANTHONY KRAFT (DAK)...

You were a star-caliber writer who gave much to the greatest print sources, including Atlas, DC and Marvel.

And the characters and titles you worked on would make one's heads spin: Demon Hunter; the Hulk; the She-Hulk, Spider-man, Captain America; Dracula; Morbius; Thor; the Defenders; Logan's Run; the Zombie; Man-Wolf; G.I. Joe; Blackhawk; Richard Dragon; Swamp Thing; Tarzan; Kamandi; World's Finest; Heathcliff and more.

To boot, your comic-book novelization of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and your accompanying Marvel Super Special on the Beatles still stand as coveted collector items and all for good, expressive reason.  

Words are important in bringing fantasy to life (whether in literature, analysis or as a springboard for illustrative panels), and you more than fulfilled your goal there, Mr. Kraft. May you now write among the angels, while those of us on Earth will continue to enjoy the wonders you left behind.
