At the New York Comic Con, we had a nice (but too short) memorial panel for Steve Gerber. I mentioned it here earlier but thought you might like to read some other reports on it…like this one or this one or even this one.
The speakers were myself, Michael Gerber (Steve's brother), Gail Simone, DC head honcho Paul Levitz, Hildy Mesnik (who worked with Steve at Sunbow Productions on G.I. Joe, Transformers and other cartoon shows), Buzz Dixon, Marty Pasko, Steve's daughter Samantha, and Mary Skrenes. Ignore the odd spellings of some of those names in the reports.
Contrary to what I said on the panel, Steve's ashes were not flung in the faces of various publishers. They were scattered around some of his favorite New York haunts. A nicer thought even if it wasn't as funny as what I suggested.
