Several fans took to social media to pay tribute to him.
Popular YouTuber Ben Potter, also known as Comicstorian online, has died aged 40 after an “unfortunate accident”, his wife Nathalie Potter has confirmed. Comicstorian, who had more than three million subscribers on his YouTube channel, spent more than a decade creating content on the platform, such as audio comics, and discussed the Marvel and DC worlds. A self-proclaimed comics nerd, he was also the host of The Weekly Pull and Absolute Comics, two podcasts dedicated to all things comics.
In a lengthy post on X, his wife wrote: “Two days ago, on June 8th, my husband, Ben Potter, passed away in an unfortunate accident. For many of you, he was a Comicstorian, voicing stories from many different mediums. To his loved ones, he was one of the best, most supportive people anyone could ask for.”
”His channel was one of his greatest achievements, and while we all need our time to grieve for him, I know he wouldn’t want it to end like this. Ben has spent over 10 years spreading his love and appreciation for his hobbies. It was through his love for moving stories and well-written characters that he started on YouTube,” his post read.
She also added that she plans to continue her “legacy” by “continuing to tell great stories about great people, as well as keeping the memory of our own superhero alive.”
