Jay Maeder, author of Dick Tracy: The Official Biography (1990, now out of print) and writer for the last 10 years of Annie, passed away early this morning from cancer. Click for the New York Daily News obituary.Fans of Moon Maid probably wouldn’t agree with Maeder on the fate of Moon Maid:
“Bumping off Moon Maid was the single most reverential action any TRACY devotee could could have taken, and if Collins had never written another line, he would still be living in memory for having done the strip this affectionate good turn.”but the book is well worth having if you’re a fan.
