Len Wein And Family Survive House Fire At Wein Home Monday Morning

Scott Edelman was nice enough to send word that longtime editor and writer Len Wein had half of his house burn down earlier today. All humans survived, but the home's dog was a victim. Apparently this comes from longtime friend Harlan Ellison -- I haven't seen anything to confirm or counter this rumor and at this posting, I think I'm the first comics site to have it so no help there, either. Wein may have lost a number of original art pieces, and as he is currently working as a freelancer so this setback may be difficult for him to absorb like it would be for many folks.

Update: Confirmed.
