Peter David, a legendary comic book writer known for his work on The Incredible Hulk, X-Factor, Spider-Man, and more, has died at age 68. The news comes via his wife, who reported that he passed away during the night on May 24, 2025, after a lengthy illness.

David’s first work was in prose and journalism, before snagging a job in Marvel’s sales department in the 1980s. There, he managed to impress editors, and his first published comic book work was in 1985’s The Spectacular Spider-Man #103. From there, he wrote the classic “The Death of Jean DeWolff” storyline in Spectacular Spider-Man, before moving over to his signature work on The Incredible Hulk.

I read about this whilst travelling home tonight, and am pleased cygnia raised it so respectfully.

Regardless of issues this board had with Peter David in the past, I know the Mod Team past and present would join me in expressing our condolences to his family and friends on his passing.
