Peter David

Word has come out that writer Peter David has passed away. David has been battling numerous medical issues for over a decade and recently relaunched a GoFundMe to help pay for medical costs. A week ago he was admitted to an ICU with difficulty breathing due to pneumonia and was battling multiple infections, most recently being put on a ventilator to help with his breathing.

David was born in 1956 and wrote comics, novels, television, films, and video games. He began his writing career in journalism but eventually moved towards fiction. He’s most known for his 12-year run on The Incredible Hulk as well as characters such as Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2099, X-Factor, and so many more. He also wrote numerous Star Trek comics and novels as well as novelizations for numerous films and properties. It’s hard to narrow down David’s highlights as so much of it is revered and loved.

A multiple award winner, he has received an Eisner, Wizard Fan Award, Haxtur Award, Julue Award, GLAAD Media Award, and Inkpot Award.

David is survived by his wife and four children.

Peter David still needs our help!

A new GoFundMe has been organized to help Peter David who has suffered multiple health problems that continue to be a challenge. In 2022 it was announced that kidney failure, a series of strokes, and a mild heart attack have caused medical bills to pile up which kicked off an initial call for help.

Will Peter is improving, Medicaid, which had been taking care of his Long Term Disability, has just dropped him. This has caused “medical care and living expenses (that) are mounting beyond current control.”

David is the winner of multiple awards and written novels, comics, and more. His run on the Incredible Hulk is legendary along with time spent on X-Factor, Spider-Man, Star Trek, Action Comics, and more.

He’s had a heart monitor put in his chest and physical therapy is helping.

The GoFundMe has a goal of $75,000. Regular updates are being shared by his family on that page.
