I guess that "Drew Hayes is dead" rumor has been pretty widely distributed! Funny stuff.

I still don't believe he's alive. There is a messageboard where they just say they don't know what's up with him. No details.. nothing.

Kinda looks like his art. I hope he isnt dead. I met him at Charlotte's Heroes Con I believe in 1996 or 1997 I dont remember which year and he signed and remarked a Sirius Poison Elves #1 in which he wrote on the cover "Say Goodnite to the Sandman, Drew Hayes". He was pretty funny and seemed appreciative of my admiration of what Sirius was doing at the time. At the time, I was becomming a fan of the Sirius line of books. I thought they had great potential and I was buying a few. Seems like they burned right out though not much later. To me it always seemed a shame because I still like some of their books that I have. I think Drew seen Sandman from DC as his big competition and thats why he wrote what he did on my cover. All in all, I hope he is okay and puts out more of his unique style which seems like any of us could do what he does if we put our mind to it.

Drew was reportedly very ill. I saw a post or an ebay auction where someone said he had passed away. the guy claimed to be his brother-in-law and wanted to sell very limited or rare Poison elves stuff. it may have been art. Later someone else was at comicspriceguide.com asking similar questions on how to sell stuff.

He may not be dead, but I don't believe he's healthy enough to draw a comic. Somebody is trying to keep his creative properties alive and of commercial value. That doesn't really tell us his status or anything.

Well it's official now that Drew Hayes has passed away.
People are sick to start that rumor a year or two early.
