Peter David was one of the most influential comic writers of the 80s and 90s. His Hulk run, lasting 12 years, is an unbelievable accomplishment, but his work on Aquaman, Supergirl, and Spider-Man 2099 shouldn't be ignored.
A giant in the industry who should never be forgotten.

Peter David's wife is reporting that he passed away last night.
A versatile writer of comics and prose who adapted well to many characters, he had been having severe health issues for a while.
I am glad that he was around, and wish the best to those who knew him.
