Robert Sheckley, 1928-2005

The author Robert Sheckley has passed away, according to reports working their way through science fiction sites and related blogs. Although I'm not exactly sure if it's true or what books they mean, this local obituary mentions that Sheckley was involved in graphic novels to some extent. As Sheckley admirer Neil Gaiman points out, the writer is survived by daughter Alisa Kwitney, an author and former DC Comics/Vertigo editor.

Update: Rand Tischler notes at least one comics credit here.
