Yesterday, February 2nd, J.H. Williams III shared the terrible news that his fellow creator and friend Seth Fisher has suddenly passed away, who was barely in his early thirties. Williams stated:

"i just received some very saddening news this evening. my friend seth fisher has died. he was a great artist and i had the pleasure of calling him my friend. i also had the pleasure of working with him. he had such a great outlook to life and was always willing to think of things from another perspective. his work is some of most unique i have seen. for those who don't know what seth fisher has done in comics do a search for his name. pick up anything he has done and you will be amazed and delighted forever by his imagination. myself and those who knew him personally will miss him enormously. he always had this way to make you laugh and not to take things too seriously. cheers seth."

Fisher was a young artist who collaborated with Williams on a Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight storyarc. He worked in both the comics and the gaming industry and whose work most recently graced the pages of Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big In Japan miniseries.

Since Williams' post, the comics community has started to react massively to the death of a young artist who had barely started to scratch the surface of his potential. Today, April Fisher, a relative of Seth, gave some information on the funeral and where to send condolences to:

Dear Friends of Seth,

I've just hung up the phone from talking with Vicki (Seth's mother) in
Japan. She is with family and friends at the wake. She was overwhelmed
when I told her so many people are talking about him online, in blogs
and forums. She thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers. It seems
Seth fell seven stories off the roof of a club in Osaka. The autopsy
revealed massive internal bleeding and suggests that he died instantly.

The funeral in Japan is on Saturday. Condolences may be sent to Hisako
(his wife) at:

Hisako Sugiyama
Miyoshi Building 3C
2-13-8 Matsubara
Naka-ku Nagoya-shi
Aichi-ken 460-0017
Japan

There will be a service at Sacred Heart in Coronado (San Diego) when his
mother returns from Japan (at least a week from now). The church will
have the details (http://www.sacredheartcor.org/):

Sacred Heart Parish

Broken Frontier would like to extend its most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Fisher.
