Legendary Marvel and DC artist Carlos Pacheco has passed away following a battle with ALS
Acclaimed comic book artist Carlos Pacheco has died following a battle with ALS. He was 60 years old. Pacheco, who is from Spain and started his career doing Spanish editions of Marvel comics, became a fixture in the American comics market in the mid-'90s before becoming one of the most beloved artists in comics, with runs on titles like The Avengers and Superman.
"We mourn the loss of a dear part of the Marvel family, comic artist & writer Carlos Pacheco," Marvel wrote."His legacy of iconic designs and storytelling like Avengers Forever, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Excalibur, Captain America, and more will be remembered. Our thoughts are with his loved ones." Per Johns Hopkins,"Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis , commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neuromuscular disease. ALS is characterized by a progressive degeneration of motor nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord . When the motor neurons can no longer send impulses to the muscles, the muscles begin to waste away , causing increased muscle weakness. ALS does not impair a person's intellectual reasoning, vision, hearing or sense of taste, smell and touch.
