Bleeding Cool covered this week the hospitalization and death of Drew Ford, the publisher of It''s Alive Press, who was diagnosed with COVID-19-caused pneumonia, as well as his wife, Kiki De Coeur, and the GoFundMe appeal, which has been established in her name.
Nick Cagnetti, the author of ''The Alive Press,'' has tweeted: ''Drew Ford was the first person to ever take a chance on my work, shocked and saddened to hear of his death. Totally unavoidable and too young, covid is horrified. If you can, send his wife''s way,'' says the creator.
Dana Andra said, "The sudden passing of Drew Ford, the world''s most powerful comic book, is horrified beyond words, and his wife is left to pick up the pieces. Please give something if you can."
"IT''S ALIVE!" The publisher, Drew Ford, passed away due to Covid related pneumonia. Like many, Drew didn''t have insurance before he passed. His wife, Kiki, is in need of your help if you can afford it.
"It was a pleasure to collaborate with Drew during his time working with IDW and can attest to his dedication and commitment to the preservation and re-presenting of archive works. Devastated for his family. I hope he is in good health.

A statewide GoFundMe program has been launched to assist his wife, Kiki, with his medical bills, but Drew''s insurance has had to be canceled. If you know of Drew''s work, please provide support if you can, according to the author.
