Steve Lightle, RIP

Sad news has come that artist Steve Lightle, who worked on Legion of Super-Heroes and X-Factor in the 80s, passed away at 61. And you know what the worst part is? As revealed by Walt Simonson:

I was deeply sorry to learn this morning that Steve Lightle has caught the last train out, a cardiac arrest apparently brought on by Covid-19. I didn't know Steve well, but liked his work. He did a fill-in issue of X-Factor during my run.

If there's any veteran creator out there who'd tragically succumbed to the illness the Chinese commies foisted upon the world, we know who it was now. It's a terrible shame. I wish to offer my condolences to Lightle's family for their sad loss.
