New broke this morning. We've lost a legend. Steve Dillon, known for co-creating Preacher with Garth Ennis and his work on The Punisher, has passed away. News was confirmed when Dillon's brother reported it on Twitter.

Dillon first started in comics at age 16, drawing for Marvel UK. His career included work at 2000 AD, DC Comics, and Marvel. Condolences to his family. He will be missed.

How awful, another respected artist gone

Most of the comics he illustrated were for stories that weren't really for me, but I always dug his art style. Something very inviting about how simplistic and human it was.

Wow, I just recently started reading Preacher for the first time too after having read the majority of his work on Punisher. Another great artist gone way too soon.

I wasn't the biggest fan of his art style but it's always sad to hear a creative has passed especially fairly early. Wish his family well in this troubling time and that Steve will be doing what he loves wherever he may be.

Rest in peace.

I'm currently re-reading Constantine and Steve Dillon's art in that was amazing. That rabbit bit was one of the many memorable moments in it.

The guy who originally drew Abslom Daak for Doctor Who Magazine... :(

I expect it'll be delayed until Marvel find a replacement artist.

Even though I criticized his artstyle, it's very sad to find out he passed away at such an age. RIP man.

Preacher and the Punisher. Monster of an artist. Both Dillon and Jason Aaron brought to life the absolute best take on Bullseye.

We have been losing too many great creators far too young. He and his work will definitely be missed, but his legacy will live on through his art.

Steve Dillon was one of those artists I didn't really get until much later. I was first exposed to him on Wolverine Origins and was really put off. The older I got, the more I came to appreciate his facial acting and clear storytelling. Last month I read some of the Animal Man run he did with Rick Vietch and thought it surpassed the Morrison/Truog stuff. Reading through old Vertigo books, anytime he stepped up to the plate, there was a clear uptick in my interest level.

Was never a fan of his art, but damn that is young to die. Did he have cancer or something?

Honestly, I was pretty young when preacher came out and didn't really read it. His Punisher work, however, I did read. It was amazing, and I was a fan. R.I.P. Steve
