I've debated airing this in public for two months now.

Comic-Con International is printing tributes to Dwayne in the San Diego Comic-Con program this year, and they approached me to write one. What I came back with was my sincere feelings, and something…

All true, and not only that, but Dwayne himself pointed out to me that it was only a few years ago, and not decades, that was the first time a black writer had an ongoing assignment on an icon book (I BELIEVE he was talking about Christopher Priest on Captain America).

Animation understood Dwayne's value better than the comics industry did, sadly.
