After months of struggling with medical bills because Medicaid has denied continued payment for his treatments, Marvel Comics Spider-Man 2099 creator, DC Comics writer, and Star Trek novelist Peter David is relaunching his medical bills GoFundMe in a desperate plea for cash.
That poor guy this is what happens when you write for tie in products you think its going to be fun and sunshine and lollipops but then they treat you like crap. As an aspiring writer myself and working to get my work independantly published because traditional publishers don’t know their heads from a hole in the wall. I will never write even if I was eventually given the opportunity to write in those sand boxes. I know there is a local writer I have met a few times at events Steve Perry who wrote the best selling Star Wars book Shadows of the Empire which was a huge sucess he even continued it in a sequel comic for Dark Horse at the time. I found his email and website which is older wondering what he’s been up to. He remembered sort of and found out he has basicly disappeared into obscurity himself not writing much at all and his wife is sick and bed ridden. Its pretty sad I know as a writer myself working on a few projects right now with nothing concretely happening just yet I can relate to my wife being sick and has been for years she suffers from crohns and colitis and her shot makes he sick and so I can relate to Steve Perry’s plight as well. We all have our cross to bear I hope Peter David gets through this. Poor guy.
Man wish I could donate. But I don’t have work right now and I’m a software engineer. The job market for engineers is super bleak. Never had a problem getting a job before. But once I do. I would love to support.
I am really interested in supporting you financially please send me a message to help
