Godspeed, Stephane Peru

I've just gotten word from Marvel editor Nate Cosby that Stephane Peru, the brilliant colorist of "Incredible Hercules," has died. Stephane brought deep aesthetic sensitivity and boundless humor to his work, making every email he sent us a joy to receive and every page we gave him simultaneously funnier and more heroic. My deepest condolences to Stephane's friends and family.
