James Perham, a writer and operations manager at Valiant, passed away over the weekend according to this post by blogger and former Valiant employee Valerie D'Orazio. Further details weren't immediately available, and I know little of Perham beyond what D'Orazio writes, such as his being the last employee to leave the company and that he wrote a few of their comics. His script contribution seem to be later-period issues within runs and a couple of the abortive re-launches, which makes sense given that company's history.
