Sam's Story

Ola,

For all of you who aren’t comic book junkies, I proudly present Joseph/Jeph Loeb – comic book writer extraordinaire. With super hit cult comic book series such as Batman: Hush (with Jim Lee), Batman and Superman: The World’s Finest, Daredevil Yellow, and Batman: The Long Halloween (which is supposed to have inspired Batman Begins) in his kitty the man could not have asked for more. But unfortunate Mr.Loeb lost his son Sam to cancer June last year. At the age of 15 Sam wrote a story in issue 5 of the Tales of the Vampires comic series with Jeph's long-term associate Tim Sale. In 2006, Sam's final work appeared in Superman/Batman #26 which was nearly completed before his death. Jeph then went on to complete this issue with the help of a star-studded team comprising of members such as Jim Lee(Hush), Pat Lee, Rob Liefeld, Ed McGuinness(Superman and Batman), Tim Sale(Catwoman: When in Rome, Long Halloween, Daredevil: Yellow), Michael Turner(Superman and Batman) etc. The issue also featured a story entitled "Sam's Story," dedicated to Sam.

I found this 6 page dedication to Sam quite moving.

Here are the links to all the six pages of Sam's Story..
