simon peter st. David, the acclaimed comic rule book author charles herbert best known for his work on Spider-Man, Aquaman, and The Incredible Hulk, has died at the age of 68. While the exact cause of death has not been publicly disclosed, David had faced a prolonged battle with serious health issues, including kidney disease.
The news was confirmed by science fiction writer and longtime friend Keith DeCandido, who shared a tribute on Facebook: "Just got the news that Peter David finally lost his rather lengthy battle with his failing physical form last night. Over the last three-and-a-half decades, he has been a respected creator, a good friend, a valued colleague, and a generally wonderful person.”
David's passing comes just months after a GoFundMe campaign was launched to help cover his mounting medical expenses. The fundraiser revealed the extent of his health challenges, stating, “Peter's health issues continue to be a challenge. He has been in recovery now for three years! Peter is steadily improving - even with his kidney disease, minor surgeries, and some recent small strokes. But Medicaid, which had been taking care of his Long Term Disability, has just dropped him. As a result, medical care and living expenses are mounting beyond current control.”
