"A matter of Life and Death" was written by Dan Adkins, pencilled by Steve Ditko (his very first comics story after he famously walked away from drawing The Amazing Spider-Man with issue #38), and inked by Wally Wood. In comic books it contains the very first death of a major super-hero (and the character actually stayed dead throughout the years).
The closing words are those of our Lord Jesus Christ from John 15:13.
