Comic Book Legend Peter David Dies at 68: Honoring the Hulk, Spider-Man 2099
The comic book world is in mourning following the sad news of Peter David's passing at the age of 68. On May 25, 2025, the celebrated and prolific writer, known for his groundbreaking contributions to both Marvel and DC Comics, succumbed to a long battle with health complications, including kidney disease. This video pays tribute to Peter David's extraordinary life and career, exploring the immense impact he had on the comic book industry and the countless fans he touched with his unique storytelling.

Peter David was much more than "just a writer"; he was a visionary who redefined iconic characters and brought a new level of depth, humor, and real-world relevance to superhero narratives. His legendary 12-year run on Marvel's The Incredible Hulk is arguably his most celebrated work, where he ingeniously explored the complex psychological facets of Bruce Banner and his various Hulk personas, including the "Joe Fixit" grey Hulk. This era is widely regarded as the most influential in the character's history, earning David and artist Dale Keown an Eisner Award in 1992.

Beyond the Hulk, David's bibliography is vast and impressive. He co-created the fan-favorite Spider-Man 2099, bringing a futuristic twist to the web-slinger that continues to resonate with audiences, especially with its recent appearances in animated films. His work on DC Comics titles was equally impactful, with memorable runs on Aquaman, where he reimagined Arthur Curry with a tougher, more modern edge, and Supergirl, where he instilled the character with a fresh, relatable identity. David's critically acclaimed series Young Justice was a standout, transforming a group of sidekicks into a dynamic, compelling team that later inspired a popular animated series.

Other notable contributions include his extensive work on X-Factor, where he masterfully reinvented the mutant team not once, but twice – first as a government-sanctioned strike force, and later as a quirky detective agency led by Madrox the Multiple Man. His storytelling prowess extended beyond comics into novels, including beloved Star Trek titles like Imzadi and his co-creation of the New Frontier series, as well as novelizations for major films like Batman Forever and the Spider-Man trilogy. He also lent his talents to television shows such as Babylon 5 and Space Cases.

Peter David's writing style was distinctive, characterized by a clever blend of humor, witty dialogue, social commentary, and a willingness to tackle complex themes. He was known for his meta-fictional touches and his ability to infuse his characters with relatable human struggles, making them resonate deeply with readers. His legacy is one of innovation, character-driven narratives, and an unwavering commitment to the craft of storytelling.

Tributes have poured in from across the industry, with fellow creators, artists, and fans expressing profound sadness and gratitude for his contributions. DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee praised David's ability to bring "humor, heart, and a wholly original perspective" to iconic characters. Many have highlighted his generosity and mentorship within the comics community, further solidifying his status as a beloved figure.

This video serves as a heartfelt remembrance of Peter David, a titan of the comic book industry whose "Writer of Stuff" persona belied a profound talent and an enduring influence. His stories will continue to inspire and entertain generations to come, ensuring that his legacy lives on. Our deepest sympathies go out to his wife, Kathleen O'Shea David, and his daughters, Ariel, Shana, Gwen, and Caroline, during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Peter David.
