Word is spreading that Bill DuBay, longtime Warren editor and writer has passed away.

He broke in doing fan press stuff, and showed up at Charlton in Go-Go drawing Blooperman with Roy Thomas.

The name first came up on my scope when I started reading Warren magazines, especially Vampirella. But the first thing I think of when I hear the name DuBay is The Rook. That time-traveling hero, much forgotten these days, was a real pulp throwback in a time overwhelmed by angst-ridden sots, the Rook was full of good old fashioned derring-do and big time fun.

I also remember DuBay writing for lots of the early direct sales books too. He seemed to me to be an indicator of a solid reliable script.

There is also a remnant of a series he wanted to do for the Atlas-Seaboard outfit called Wonderland. All that exists of that aborted project is some unpublished artwork.
Here's a link with more details about his career.
Thanks for some great comics Mr.DuBay.
