I'm hearing that Batton Lash has passed away.

He's probably best known as the creator of the series Wolff and Byrd: Counselors of the Macabre, but for me, he'll always be the writer of Archie meets the Punisher, one of the most perfect comics ever made. I wish he had done more stuff like this for Archie than he did!

I haven't read a lot of his stuff, but I enjoyed what little I have read. Rest well. -M

Fine, fine writer. First saw his work in the Comic buyer's Guide, where Wolff and Byrd would appear. Fun stuff. And, yes, Archie Meets the Punisher was about as perfect a crossover as they get; far exceeding the less-than-spectacular DC/Marvel crossovers, of the period.
