    Comic book artist Mark Gruenwald had a very specific wish concerning the deliberation of his ashes. What duo granted that wish shortly after his death?

    When Mark Gruenwald tragically passed away at the "too young" age of 42 in 1996, one of his farewell wishes was that he be cremated, and that his ashes be mixed in with the print run of a comic book.

    Bob Harras and his widow, Catherine, decided on the first printing of the trade collection of perhaps Mark's most memorable series, his 1985-86 mini-series, Squadron Supreme.

    "This is something that he really wanted because he really loved comics," said Bob Harras, Marvel's editor-in-chief. "He wanted to be part of his work in a very real sense."
