Kate Worley

by Ron Hogan

Last month, indie comics fans were cheered by the news that Kate Worley and Reed Waller would be reuniting for the long-awaited final chapters in the Omaha the Cat Dancer saga (a link which is possibly NSFW if your employer uses text filters), though the news was tempered by the revelation that her initial cancer treatments had been unsuccessful. She died some time last weekend; Mark Evanier and Neil Gaiman discuss her life with varying degrees of intimacy.

That's really too bad. Omaha was/is a great comic. The two of them really seemed to stay under the radar for having such a good, and controversial, comic - in contrast to the Dave Sims, Jeff Smiths, etc. that is.

This would have been a better world if Dave Sim had stayed under the radar instead.
