Jeremy Dale, creator of the Action Labs Comic Skyward has passed away. This book is a fantastic read and had great spec on it when it first came out. I spoke to Jeremy numerous times at conventions (just this year he signed the Baltimore Comic Con Yearbook for me (it was a Grendel Themed book for which he provided a piece). Jeremy was a very nice guy and am sad to hear of his passing.
From Jeremy’s Facebook page.
It is with great difficulty that I share with you this awful news. Late in the evening of November the third, my husband Jeremy Dale passed away. He was hospitalized, and surrounded by his friends. His doctors say he passed without pain or suffering.
Jeremy’s passing was sudden, and a shock to everyone. The delay in sharing this sad news was so that we could contact Jeremy’s family and close friends. Final arrangements are still being made, and will be shared on Jeremy’s Facebook page as details come together.
Our thanks go out to everyone for the outpouring of love and concern. Condolences may be shared on Jeremy’s Facebook page for the time being; this will be the same place where we will post any information regarding memorial services, funerals, and other plans.
For the time being, I ask that all friends and colleagues with questions, or concerns beyond expressing their condolences, reach out to Joe Peacockand Allison Sohn for answers and information. Immediate family can and should contact me directly- you know how to reach me.
Jeremy loved you all very much- he appreciated your support and your friendship. Thank you so much for your understanding during this very difficult time.

Wow – thats such terrible news. I personally think his artwork in Skyward is some of the best in modern comics ! Love that series.
yeah me too. I flipped the heck out of it early on but kept copies for myself, including a personalized #1 blank sketch cover.
