Our friend David Kraus passed away on Saturday evening, January 12, at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA from complications related to longstanding heart troubles. Dave was a passionate fan of comics, and the B.P.R.D. character Johann Kraus got his surname from Dave. It's with great sadness that we mark his passing at the age of 49. Our thoughts go out to his wife, Kathy, and to all who loved him.
