Farewell To A Unique Comics Talent

This is what his writing collaborator JM DeMatteis had to say on Twitter

Just heard that Michael Zulli passed away. Michael and I worked on a number of projects together in the late 90s/early 2000s. He wasn’t just a brilliant artist, he was a brilliant man: deep, passionate, philosophical. Condolences to his family. Safe travels, Michael. pic.twitter.com/JAp3EJFqRS
