Damn. He was the best. His Swamp-Thing run is my favorite.
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Bummer. I really liked his work. Such an amazing dramatic flair like no other.

I hadn't heard. Yeah, he was great.
