Multiple award-winning comic book legend Len Wein has died aged 69, a few days after heart surgery.

DC confirmed the news.

“Len Wein was one of the most welcoming people and legends in comics from the moment I joined DC eight years ago,” Diane Nelson, president of DC Entertainment said. “He wrote or edited almost every major DC character — there’s hardly a facet of DC’s world that Len didn’t touch. I, DC, and the industry will miss him and his talent very much. Our love and prayers go out to Christine, his family, and his fans.”

In addition to his work with DC, Wein was also co-creator of Wolverine, one of the most influential figures in the Marvel Universe. He was editor of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen
