Influential comic artist Sam Kieth had died at age 63 after suffering from Lewy Body Dementia. Aside from co-creating The Sandman he's perhaps best known for creating The Maxx, a weird comic with very unique art that spawned an animated TV series on MTV. Alan Moore loved The Maxx so much he even wrote an issue of it.
