Eurweb is reporting that revered comic book and animation writer Dwayne McDuffie has passed away. The Detroit native died Monday, a day after his birthday, DC Comics said. He reportedly passed away due to complications following a surgical procedure he underwent Monday evening. Dwayne McDuffie wrote comic books for Marvel and DC and founded his own publishing company before crossing over to television and animation. He wrote comics for the New York-based DC and Marvel, including runs on Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, The Fantastic Four and The Justice League of America. He also penned several animated television shows and features, including the just-released "All-Star Superman" as well as "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths" and the animated TV series "Static Shock" and "Ben 10: Alien Force." McDuffie tweeted last week that he was "Taking a break from a script I owe to attend the LA premiere of ‘All-Star Superman.'" He was 49.
