Comics scribe Arnold Drake, co-creator of the Doom Patrol and others, is ailing.
Arnold Drake is in Cabrini Hospital in New York City with what his
daughter called "a touch of pneumonia." He was found collapsed, but
conscious on the floor of his apartment by a neighbor (thank you, Mr.
Hennessy). He is still in intensive care as of today (February 28).
Arnold has been writing comics since the late '40s. He's written humor and
adventure for all age groups from Batman to Jerry Lewis. He is the creator
of Stanley and His Monster, Deadman, Doom Patrol and Beast Boy. He also
wrote what is probably the first American graphic novel; "It Rhymes with
Lust" was published in 1950 with art by Matt Baker and is due to be
re-released by Dark Horse in a few weeks (March, 2007).
