I don't have a lot of details but Mike's wife Lin has informed me that Mike passed away yesterday.

Some of you know that Mike had been battling colon cancer for some time and I guess his body finally decided that he'd had enough.

For those unfamiliar with Mike's work, his website will give you a pretty good idea:

The Michael Roden Benefit will continue. Please consider swinging by the Poopsheet Shop and supporting the cause. All proceeds from the categories Michael Roden - Thru Black Holes Comix and Michael Roden Benefit Listings will go straight to Mike's family to help pay for medical expenses, etc.

Thanks very much.
