Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sam Loeb, born
Joseph Loeb IV, (April 13, 1988 - June 17, 2005) was the son of comic
book writer Jeph Loeb. His work included a collaboration with Tim Sale
in Tales of the Vampires, and the main story of Superman/Batman #26.
Jeph Loeb's son Sam Loeb died on June 17, 2005 at the age of 17 after a
three-year battle with cancer (in his leg, his jaw, and finally his
lung) before finishing the story he was writing for Superman/Batman #26.
Jeph Loeb, along with 25 other comic book professionals and artists who
had known Sam, worked on the issue, scripting or penciling individual
pages. Marvel Comics allowed John Cassaday and Joss Whedon to work on
the issue despite their exclusive contracts. All 26 contributors donated
their fees and royalties for the issue to The Sam Loeb College
Scholarship Fund.
