Charlton Artist Wayne Howard Dies

Posted by admin On December - 11 - 2007

To many of us who are major Charlton Comics Horror fans some very sad news indeed.  Wayne Howard has passed away from a heart attack at the age of 59.                                             

The following is a snippet from the newsfromme blog:

Comic book artist Wayne Howard has died. One of the few African-American comic book artists at the time he broke into the field, Howard learned his craft in the fanzines of the sixties and at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. But he told me he learned most of what he knew about comics from his brief time assisting Wally Wood from 1968 to 1969. (Some sources say ‘69 but you can see Wayne’s name hidden all throughout the backgrounds of Captain Action #1, which Wood and his crew produced in 1968.)
