Marvel comic book creator Ed Piskor, 41, took his own life after 17-year-old accuser claimed he tried to groom her in graphic online posts

The graphic online words that drove cult comic book creator Ed Piskor to apparently take his own life can be revealed by DailyMail.com.

Award-winning Piskor, 41 – who worked for Marvel Comics and enjoyed a massive following for his graphic novels – died on April 1 after publicly posting an apparent suicide note on Facebook condemning internet trolls and cancel culture.

His death came a week after allegations first swept the web that the Pennsylvania native had tried to groom a 17-year-old girl, which saw him lose a $75,000 webcomic deal and have his upcoming art exhibition at Pittsburgh Cultural Trust postponed.

Defiant Piskor denied anything sinister had happened, slammed his internet accusers – and wrote: 'I was murdered by internet bullies. Massive amounts of them.'

Now DailyMail.com can reveal the alleged victims' graphic Instagram posts that drew out another accuser and sparked an online campaign against the cartoonist.

The young woman, a fellow illustrator who says she was groomed by Piskor during Covid, used the screen name 'sydgoblin' to write: 'OK Ed Piskor is a f***ing CREEP he likes little high school girls and slid in my dms when I was 17 years old. I didn't know him and he found me simply by liking one of my pictures.'

Piskor was known for his historical comics, Hip Hop Family Tree, and his work on X-Men: Grand Design

Hours before his family confirmed his passing, Piskor shared an anguished letter on Facebook bidding farewell and blaming Internet bullies for his death (SEE BELOW FOR THE FULL POST)

'Sending me a postcard of myself in school uniform calling me a cute nerdy girl and saying to come out to Pittsburgh and stay with him he'd take me out to lunch to meet other pg cartoonists.

'Overall f***ing weird with no gray area for what he was trying to do over the course of a year (obvious to anyone on this planet).

'Calling me a good girl, and a naughty girl all the time. Sending me unfinished pages of his as a 'secret' and gassing me up constantly basically trying to groom me into whatever the f***.' sydgoblin continued.

She also wrote: 'I don't like f***ing sex pests. I don't like creepy old men who think they have the ability to play around with malliable (sic) girls with no real grasp on the situation because their predator have a successful career in COMICS?!

'If anyone would like to see further evidence of this just dm (direct message) I don't have a problem posting the rest of the screenshots…

'I find nothing normal or friendly about a 40-year-old man asking a high school girl about her classes, calling her a good girl/naughty girl etc etc. Asking her to come visit him. Saying we'll be 'partners in crime' and asking if I snitch or not. Like what the f***?'

The woman claimed her words were 'not a 'cancellation' of Ed Piskor. I'm just telling you the truth about this person.

'The truth that a lot of cartoonists are AWARE OF! That Ed Piskor likes YOUNG GIRLS. And he will try to use his 'fame' to get them to facetime him, give him attention, or make them come and stay with him… this behavior is disgusting.

'This is me saying what happened in 2020-2021 and if this happened to you you're not alone unfortunately.

'I need a t shirt that says ED PISKOR TRIED TO GROOM ME AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET A FREE COPY OF X MEN GRAND DESIGN. To this day Ed Piskor slides into my dms calling me 'kiddo', further confirming our inappropriate age gap.'

Piskor's family confirmed his death in a Facebook post shared hours after he published his heartbreaking letter but did not reveal how he died

The comic book artist was known for his work on Marvel's X-Men: Grand Design, and Hip Hop Family Tree

The cartoonist revealed he had lost a $75,000 webcomic deal as a result of the allegations against him. He posted about his 11th solo book back in February 

Sydgoblin shared one message she alleged was from him that said, 'Naughty girl! That's my favorite', in a comment on her own work.

The renowned cartoonist, who lived in the Pittsburgh suburb of Homestead, also allegedly wrote: 'I feel like you'd be a good partner in crime. You're not a snitch are you? If we robbed some banks you wouldn't rat me out would you?'

Another accuser followed with her own abuse claims after the first message was posted a week before Piskor died. She accused him of demanding oral sex in exchange for his agent's phone number.

DailyMail.com can also reveal Piskor told his New York agent Bob Mecoy he was going to 'hit the road' after the allegations swept the internet.

The pair regularly talked on the phone the week before his death, with the last conversation just two days before he died.

'Ed said, I'm having the car tuned up and I'm going to just travel for a while. I'm going to visit some friends,' Mecoy told DailyMail.com. 'He said he was just going to put his head down and hit the road.

'I said he could visit me in Upstate New York and he told me I might see him in a month or so. What happened between Saturday and Monday I cannot even speculate.

'I had no idea what was about to happen. I wouldn't otherwise have assured him that I would continue to work with him in whatever capacity he needed me to.

'However, he was having a difficult time coping with all the turbulence surrounding him. I did not know how isolated he had allowed himself to become. I just asked that he stay in touch.'

Piskor was also known for his graphic novels such as Hip-Hop Family Tree and also being the co-host of successful YouTube commentary channel Cartoonist Kayfabe with comic book creator Jim Rugg.

His family have not revealed how he died. DailyMail.com reached out to his parents, Ed Sr, 74, and Diane, 64, who asked that their privacy be respected at this tragic time.

Neighbors spoken to by DailyMail.com said they had not seen Piskor at his home in Allegheny County in the days leading to his death. And the local medical examiner's office said the cartoonist did not die in Allegheny.

Piskor began his letter by apologizing for 'being so stupid', but maintaining his innocence

The cartoonist went on to say that he has 'no friends in this life any longer' and is a 'disappointment to everybody who liked me' 

In his note, he tells his family to get his will sorted and move into a nice home. 'Make use of what've built up,' he says

'I was murdered by internet bullies,' Piskor wrote. 'Massive amounts of them'

The anguished artist explained he felt ostracized by the claims saying: 'I have no friends in this life any longer. I'm a disappointment to everybody who liked me. I'm a pariah' 

As part of his five-page, 2,497-word farewell, the tortured artist gave specific details of what he would be wearing and his car's license plate, in an apparent aid to being found.

Mecoy said he did not know where Piskor was speaking from during their conversations. 'I don't know how he died,' said the agent. 'Equally, I have no idea if he had a gun.'

Piskor's distraught younger brother Bobby, 38, reacted to his sibling's death with his own Facebook post blasting internet trolls.

He said of the words 'I was murdered by internet bullies' that 'I will never be able to get out of my head. These words will forever be cemented all across the internet.'

'The fact is that my brother was murdered by internet bullies. People found the humor to speak about a series of untruths, fictitious excerpts that glorified a certain narrative.

'The words you all wrote, that made you all so very proud, had a lot of meaning to my brother. In his eyes, he let his family down. When it fact; the internet bullies let HIM down. These words hurt. They hurt so many people.'
