"Fabulous" Flo Steinberg, the woman who helped keep Marvel Comics running in the Silver Age, has died.

She was also a pioneer in Independent comics in her own right.

Her death was reported by a close friend Larry Hama, also an industry legend, on Facebook.

He said: "I am grieved to report that ‘Fabulous’ Flo Steinberg passed away this morning after complications from a brain aneurism and metastatic lung cancer. She will be interred at the Jewish cemetery in Kerhonkson NY. We are making plans for a memorial in September or October. I will update on this page.”
