RIP Bernie Mireault. A tragedy that he's gone and that he never got the appreciation he deserved.

Reports have come to me that Bernie Mireault, creator of The Jam, died on Monday from suicide, due in part to his lack of a current position in comics and the poverty that came from that. Folks, be good to yourself, be good to others, and reach out of help when you feel the need.

One of the few articles on Mireault's work and legacy (published in 2009): web.archive.org/web/20090419...

I was something of a late comer to his work. I picked up a random issue of The Jam from a quarter bin in 2019 and fell in love with it. I proceeded to collect every issue. I was taken at how positive and fun it was, especially since I was eyeballs deep in Outlaw Comics research at the time.

aw, no! What a loss.
