The Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s movie and television branches alike are in the midst of some serious expansion. In addition to the slate of Phase 3 films and new TV series in development like “Luke Cage” and “Marvel’s Most Wanted”, Marvel continues to mine its vast character stores for interesting new series.

“It is with sad news I report the passing of my cousin Paul,” wrote his cousin Chad Callanan on Facebook. “Chances are you were touched by him in your lifetime as he was the cartoonist for some of the most well known and beloved characters in the world. From Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, The Phantom to the Fantastic Four, most of which made it to the big screen and Hollywood.
