Renowned author the the highly regarded histories of comics and of the horror genre, Les Daniels [1943–2011] was a Brown University classmate of John Peck, becoming friends who gravitated toward one another with a mutual interest in pop culture. Together the produced COMIX: A HISTORY OF COMIC BOOKS IN AMERICA with Les — an exceptional wordsmith with a parallel career as horror fiction author — serving as main author and Peck providing design and contributing sections devoted to the contemporary scene, including the chapters on Marvel Comics and the underground scene. Surreptitiously, Les would, under the H.P. Lovecraft-inspired nom de plume Charles Dexter Ward, add his cartoons to Peck’s comix forays. Peck remained an intimate pal of his fellow Providence denizen (who resided in an appropriately creepy basement apartment on equally creepy Benefit Street) until the writer’s tragic passing just after Halloween 2011.
