As confirmed by his former partner Cher on Twitter, Zimmerman died of cancer on July 28, 2022. Zimmerman's talents will surely be missed as his legacy in the world of comics will still live on. Being a film producer and stand-up comic, Ron Zimmerman had quite an interesting professional life. His contributions to comics remain huge, and his work is as influential as ever. With the passing of such a legend, let's look at his fruitful career and what he achieved. Looking back at Ron Zimmerman s career Cher@cherMy friend Ronny died Today. Life is so fragile.

While he is known for heavily working at Marvel (more on that later), he is also an exceptionally well-known film producer and stand-up artist. Being a writer and producer, Zimmerman worked on the famed slasher franchise, Friday the 13th, specifically famous for working on Friday the 13th: A New Beginning and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. He would even take part in Jet Li's action film, The One, and play the role of Rotten Ronnie. Gennefer Gross@GenneferDid a podcast with Ron Zimmerman in 2012 back before everyone had a podcast and was awed by how he deftly he volleyed between witty and vulnerable, a combination he’d mastered, and every laser sharp joke or chilling tale struck you to the core. A special person loved by all.

A special person loved by all. RIP. https://t.co/AMVGZbZf56 He has even appeared in many other television shows like 7th Heaven and had writing credits on other high-profile projects like Hard Knocks, My Wife and Kids, and more. Ron Zimmerman was also known for being a part of the writing team behind the highly acclaimed DC comics cartoon Justice League: Unlimited. He contributed by writing the episode Hawk and Dove. Zimmerman also took part in writing for The Simpsons, writing for the episode The Cad and the Hat. While Zimmerman's career in writing for television is impressive, he even lent his talents to Marvel Comics. Best known for working on some of the most prominent Marvel characters, Zimmerman wrote stories for characters like Punisher, Daredevil, and Thor. He even wrote for Spider-Man in the six-issue limited series Spider-Man: Get Kraven. Glenn Farrington@HaHaScribeI lost one of my oldest and dearest friends. An incredible human being and an absolutely brilliant comedy mind. I truly loved him. All your worries are gone now...RIP Ron Zimmerman.335I lost one of my oldest and dearest friends. An incredible human being and an absolutely brilliant comedy mind. I truly loved him. All your worries are gone now...RIP Ron Zimmerman. https://t.co/SesVsu0OC8 He even wrote the Ultimate Adventures series, which basically introduced Marvel's Batman and Robin in some capacity. However, Zimmerman's most famous piece of work at the comic book giant is that of reviving the classic gunslinger, the Rawhide Kid. Joined by John Severin, who would illustrate the comic alongside him, Zimmerman would write Rawhide Kid for Marvel's MAX comics line. Being a complete revitalization of the character, Rawhide Kid would be reimagined as a gay cowboy, which at the time drew criticism from many comic fans and parents. The comic would run for a total of five issues. Kazual Comics@KazualComicsBummed out to hear that Ron Zimmerman has passed away. I always hoped he'd make a return to comics one day. Rawhide Kid was a ground breaking yet controversial book for 2003. Funny to think Brokeback Mountain came out just 2 years later.1Bummed out to hear that Ron Zimmerman has passed away.

His contributions to the comic book industry were exceptional. With the passing of Ron Zimmerman, fans have lost another iconic comic book personality. Truly a sad day for the industry, but let's rather celebrate his life by remembering and reading his works. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Ravi Iyer × Feedback Thank You!
