Coming September 2, Pocket Universe's newest production for Scholastic Audio... meet THE TERRIBLE TRIO!
The Woolas are coming...
And yeah, he did a great job. But that’s unsurprising: he did a great job on anything he put his name on.
Peter was battling serious medical maladies for over a decade, beginning with a stroke in 2012, and is finally free from suffering. Peace to his wife and daughters. (5)
Elaine had the great idea to include him as a guest voice in the production. So in Part 4 of Episode 1, the voice of the foreign correspondent reporting on the assassination that sets the whole thing in motion? Yup, that’s Peter David. (4)
When Bill Dufris and I first started AudioComics, PUP's predecessor, our debut production was Elaine Lee and Michael Kaluta’s “Starstruck” (the play). Peter heard it, loved it, and when it was time to do Episode 1 of “Titanium Rain” (Episodes 2 and 3 are coming, I promise)... (3)
He wrote short stories, he wrote novelizations, he wrote comic books, he wrote animation episodes, he wrote television; he leaves behind a body of work most writers would kill for. But there’s one credit few know about: actor. (2)
Peter David has passed away at the too-young age of 68. DC, Marvel, Star Trek, Nickelodeon, Babylon 5, a 12-year run on “The Incredible Hulk”, 6 years on “Aquaman”, journalism, Stan Lee’s autobiography. (1)
Thank you for your service.
