https://bleedingcool.com/comics/kc-carlson-legion-of-super-heroes-editor-dies-aged-68/It has been reported by close friends and family that former DC Comics editor KC Carlson has passed away, at the age of 68. Born in 1956, as a teenager in the early seventies, KC Carlson first job in comics was to strip covers off of unsold comics to return to the publishers for a local magazine distributor. Which of course meant reading them all, too. Not long afterwards, he began working for DC Comics as an editor, on titles including Legion of Super-Heroes, Zero Hour, Action Comics, Eclipso, Inferno, JLA, and Superman. Active early in online fandom on AOL and Usenet, he won the rec.arts.comics Squiddy Award for Favourite/Comic Editor in 1994, 1995 and 1996. He then worked for mailorder comics seller Westfield Company where he wrote the Westfield blog, distributor Capital City Distribution, and many comic shops as well as contributing to the Comics Worth Reading site with his comics reviewing wife, Johanna Draper Carlson, who he married in 1999 and who survives him.

Sad. He was one of the few good editors the Legion ever had.
I knew he had been in poor health, because when I was researching JLA Avengers a couple years ago, Carlson was one of the named sources, and it was mentioned that he'd wanted to tell all he knew before his memory completely left him.
My thoughts and condolences to his friends and family.
RIP, KC. Thanks for those great early PZH Legion stories, and for keeping the ship steady in the years leading up to that.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

Yeah, you can appreciate his contribution by comparing the decline in tightness after he left the editorship of the Legion.
R.I.P.

I saw this on Blue Sky and Reddit today. Its a very sad day for the Legion, as he was one of the editors who really seemed to give a damn.
I reached out to his wife and gave her condolences, but I know its hard as he'd been dealing with health issues for some years now.
RIP KC.
