A Facebook campaign is seeking recognition for late writer Dwayne McDuffie, specifically in the form of the Animation Writer’s Caucus Lifetime Achievement Award.
According to a message from McDuffie’s wife Charlotte posted on the Facebook group, he can be added to consideration via a “groundswell” of write-in votes from Writers Guild of America Animation Writers Caucus members. If you are a member — or know one — and are interested, more information is here.
McDuffie worked in comics and animation during his noted career, penning Fantastic Four, Justice League of America, Damage Control and more in print, and much of the Justice League and Static Shock animated series on TV. McDuffie also scripted several of the DC Animated direct-to-DVD features, including this year’s All-Star Superman and the upcoming Justice League Doom. He passed away in February of this year.

Dwayne, you deserve this and so much more! What an immense talent we’ve lost. R.I.P.
No other comments? And 50+ for Starfire’s promiscuity? For shame, people.

He deserves this recognition. I still find it saddening that such great talent has left this world. Your work and memory will not be forgotten. Rest in peace, sir.

If anyone deserves recognition for his contributions to comics and animation, it Dwayne Mcduffie. He made JLU one of the best animated cartoons of the 21st centuray and his work on JL: crisis on two earth is fantastic. Add in his contrbution to putting more diversity into comics with milestone media and static shock, this man should be inducted into the comic book hall of fame, along side Jack kirby and will eisner. He lft us WAY too soon.
R.I.P Dwayne.
