Steve Dillon, legendary comic-book artist and co-creator, passed away at 54. He was known for a deeply expressive, often humorous style and considered a master of his craft by colleagues. Born in London in 1962, he started working in comics at age 16 for Marvel UK - the British imprint of Marvel Comics. In 1992 he teamed with Garth Ennis on Hellblazer, which would become one of the biggest long-running titles in comics history. The rapport they established led to Preacher, another pivotal series known for its often brutal subject matter and perverse sense of humor, in 1995. Mr. Dillon is survived by his parents, three children, a sister, and two grandchildren.
