Indie comic pioneer dies young

Barry Blair, the publisher, author and artist of a vast mountain of indie comics, is dead at 52 of a brain aneurysm, reports Publishers Weekly. Successes included Samurai, Warlock 5, Elflord, and, as publisher, Men in Black. Blair was also infamous for his non-mainstream work, which often featured weird twink porn and women with unnecessarily large nipples: should you wish to save yourself before heading to Google Images, just imagine Don Bluth's Salo and you're all set.
