"Just one day after his 49th birthday, comic book and TV animation writer Dwayne McDuffie passed away due to complications from a surgical procedure.
His first major work for Marvel Comics was "Damage Control," about a clean-up team who deals with the mess those pesky superheroes leave behind post-battle.
In 1992, McDuffie created Milestone Media, which paid special care to cultural sensitivity and diversity in comic books. Later, McDuffie wrote and story-edited for animated television series like "Static Shock," "Teen Titans," and "What's New, Scooby-Doo?"
He was a key figure as story editor and producer of "Justice League Unlimited," and he wrote the story for the video game "Justice League Heroes." He went on to work on "Ben 10: Alien Force."
He also wrote comics for the New York-based DC and Marvel, including runs on "Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight," the Fantastic Four and the Justice League of America. He also penned several animated features, including the just-released "All Star Superman," "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths"
