Comics writer-artist Bill Messner-Loebs, whose comic career spans three decades, has been homeless in Michigan in recent weeks, according to a lengthy profile on the website of Fox 2 Detroit. Messner-Loebs, in his late 60s, became homeless when the mobile home in which he and his wife had been living became uninhabitable due to a gas leak, according to the report. A charitable group is now in the process of helping them get housing.
Messner-Loebs’ comics career has spanned three decades, with work on Wonder Woman, Flash, and other titles for DC Comics, work on Sam Kieth’s The Maxx for Image Comics, early work for Michigan publisher Noble Comics (which published Justice Machine), and his own series Journey: The Adventures of Wolverine MacAlistaire for Aardvark-Vanaheim and Fantagraphics (collected by IDW Publishing in the 00s).
Asked for the one thing he wants? "A job drawing again," he told the Fox 2 reporter.
