The comics artist Ed Piskor passed away at the age of 41.
Ed Piskor, the artist of the Eisner Award-winning comic Hip Hop Family Tree, has reportedly passed away, per a Facebook post by his sister.
Piskor's obituary states that"he is survived by his loving parents, Edward R., Sr., and Diane Piskor; cherished siblings, Robert Piskor, Justine Cleaves, and Brianna Piskor; and treasured nieces and nephews, Lucy, Calvin, Carson, and Brynn." Piskor rose to fame because of Hip Hop Family Tree from Fantagraphics, a collection of oversized comics detailing the history of hip-hop from the 1970s onwards. He gained mainstream recognition in 2018 with the release of X-Men: Grand Design, a three-volume retelling of the X-Men's entire history, with some retcons and revisions. Piskor and Rugg's Cartoonist Kayfabe also became popular, with nearly 90,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Last month, comics artist Molly Dwyer posted private messages between herself and Piskor from 2020, which Dwyer stated occurred when she was 17 years old. Dwyer shared one post in which Piskor called her a"naughty girl" and others where he offered to let her stay with him in Pittsburgh. A screen capture of some of Dwyer's comments can be found here.
Piskor's passing was originally reported on Facebook by his sister and has since been confirmed by a local funeral home. He was 41 years old.
