Josh Medors, a comic book artist with credits including G.I. Joe, Fused and more, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 36.
Known best as a horror artist, Medors worked on multiple G.I. Joe titles while the license was at Devil’s Due, and collaborated with writer Steve Niles on books including 30 Days of Night, Criminal Macabre and Fused. He co-created Willow Creek at Zenescope, and illustrated Frank Frazetta’s Sorcerer and Frank Frazetta’s Swamp Demon at Image Comics.
Medors fought cancer for years, a rare form found in his spinal column. He co-founded Help for Heroes, an organization intended to raise money for comic professionals struggling with the disease. He’s survived by his wife Charlotte and son, Garth.

Agreed. I think it’s wonderful that he started an organization to help comic creators with the same and similar conditions. Rest in peace, Jos Medors: may Help for Heroes continue to aid those in need.
