I have had a Stroke

We were on vacation in Florida when I lost control of the right side of my body. I cannot see properly and I cannot move my right arm or leg. We are currently getting the extent of the damage sorted out and will report as further details become clarified.

  1. Aw, crap. Sorry to hear that, PAD. Take all the time you need — I’m sure Harlan and Neil would be happy to help out if necessary 🙂

  2. Peter-we have spoken many times over the years, but never met. Aside from you being one of the most prolific writers of our time, you are a truly great and spiritual person.
    all of us here at Collector’s Comics in Port St. Lucie, Fl wish you a fast, speedy and permanent recovery.

  3. So sorry to hear of your health issue. I join the well wishers here in hoping for a speedy recovery. No one writes like you — any absence will be sorely missed.

  4. Peter,

    I wish you a speedy recovery and you are in our families prayers. You have given us so many great stories over the years, I wish I could do more.

  5. Take care, and pay careful attention to what the Docs tell you! (And get someone else to pay attention, too, as the effects of strokes can be *VERY* wide ranging. I remember watching my Dad disappear while his body lived on due to a stroke.)

  6. Desde Perú muchas fuerzas, que todo salga favorable y que nos reagles años y años de tu gran talento, un gran abrazo psicologico 🙂

  7. I was lucky enough to meet you when you came to Perú this year. I’ve always admired your work as a writer and meeting you in person was a great experience. I wish you the best and I hope you overcome your health issues as soon as possible. All the best

  8. Peter,

    You’ve been a major inspiration to my writing. Because of you, you’ve also shaped a good portion of my childhood.

    Now, more than twenty years later, I find I’m still picking up your works because I’m still enjoying your stories.

    I only wish I can be like you one day.

    Reading the news today, I actually found myself tearing up. I’ve never been like that for any “celebrity” before. And yes, to me, you are a celebrity.

    You’re in my thoughts and prayers, sir. I know you’ll get through this.

    Take care, Peter!

  12. Ðámņ. Sorry to hear this, PAD. I wish you and your family all the best. Looking forward to the day when you’re discussing all this from a vantage of comfortable hindsight.

  13. Sorry to hear about what happened, Peter. I hope you have a full and speedy recovery, as you are a national treasure, and the comics medium needs you now more than ever. Plenty more stories left in you.

    I can’t offer prayers, as a non-believer, but I can hope fervently that the universe sees fit to randomly allow all things to go your way, if only just this once:)

  14. Sorry to hear about this, Peter. Strokes are serious business. I’m confident your rehabilitation will restore most of whatever you’ve lost.

  15. Peter, you and your family certainly in my thoughts and prayers. Here’s hoping that your stroke was a mild one and your recovery will be a quick one. Best wishes.

  16. I was very saddened to hear about your stroke.
    Sending well-wishes to you, and hoping for a speedy recovery. I expect many more stories from you! 🙂

  17. I hope you get fully healthy as soon as possible. Please let us now if you need something. Hope you and your family are coping with the after effects, especially the little ones. I wish you the best, from Lima, Perú.

  18. Olá assim que li essa noticia em um site fiquei preocupado pois gosto do seu trabalho e queria te desejar sorte pois você ira conseguir sair dessa e continuar escrevendo para todos os seus fans…Eu admiro o seu trabalho e digo que a Marvel Comics não sera a mesma coisa sem você…Boa sorte…
