"Miura-sensei was a master artist and storyteller, and we had the great privilege of publishing several of his finest works, including his masterpiece, Berserk," said publisher Dark Horse Comics. "He will be greatly missed."
"The news of Miura's sudden passing has blanketed the Young Animal editorial department in deep sadness," added the publication over at Young Animal Comics.
As a huge fan myself, I'm still processing his loss. 54 is so young, and his mind and heart offered so much that the world needs. He will be sorely missed, and we here at Game Informer hope his friends and family can find peace during these times.
