Michael Zulli, the acclaimed comic book artist perhaps best known for his work on The Sandman with writer Neil Gaiman, where Zulli co-created the immortal Hob Gadling, has passed away at the age of 71.
Zulli broke into the comic book industry a bit later in life (he used to joke that he “was born in the fifties, survived the sixties, and spent most of the seventies recuperating”), with the independent comic book series, Puma Blues, with writer Stephen Murphy, which was originally published by Dave Sim, before moving over to Mirage Studios a few years later.
Zulli was to be the artist on the controversial issue of Swamp Thing written by Rick Veitch that saw the hero witness the death of Jesus Christ (with Swamp Thing making up part of Jesus’ cross). DC ended up pulling the issue before it ever saw publication.
