RIP Ted White, writer about comics (updated)

White lived in Falls Church, and also wrote for the Falls Church News-Press. He was mostly active in science fiction, but wrote for Heavy Metal as well as the first Captain America prose novel. 

Honoring Ted White

Mike Chomko

May 24, 2026

https://pulpfest.com/2026/05/24/honoring-ted-white/

 

The article also notes the comic book artists White hired as an SF editor, "They were joined by some of science fiction’s most exciting artists: Dan Adkins, Vaughn Bode, Doug Chaffee,  Jeff Jones, Mike Kaluta, John Pederson, Jr., Joe Staton, and most significantly Mike Hinge." 

Here's his Grand Comics Database page.

Here's his Wikipedia page.

After I posted this, I received the following email that Joel gave me permission to quote here:

 

 Not only did Ted White write for Heavy Metal, he was the editor for several years, and brought American creators into its pages.

Ted was a very early comics fan at a time when science fiction fandom shunned comics.

He was one of the top EC comics fans, along with the recently departed Larry Stark, long-departed Bhob Stewart, and still-with-us Fred von Bernewitz (who grew up in Silver Spring and graduated from Montgomery Blair HS).

Comictropolis launch at MLK library

COMICTROPOLIS: La Borinqueña Rises - An Afternoon with Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez and David Betancourt at Martin Luther King library is starting. 

One disturbed person was removed after cursing at the stage so it got a little late. 

Shawn Martinbrough is teaching comics creation afterwards.
