Hegel did not technically die in 1983 but he did die at the hands of the '83 during a rather casulty ridden clash with fellow Necromatic team, the equally well themed, Literally Dead. He was once a Wight, he is now a Zombie, he is still very, very dead.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (August 27, 1770 – November 14, 1831) was a German idealist philosopher born in Stuttgart, Württemberg, in present-day southwest Germany. His influence has been widespread on writers of widely varying positions, including both his admirers (F. H. Bradley, Sartre, Hans Küng, Bruno Bauer, Max Stirner, Karl Marx), and his detractors (Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schelling). He introduced, arguably for the first time in philosophy, the idea that History and the concrete are important in getting out of the circle of philosophia perennis, i.e., the perennial problems of philosophy. He also stressed the importance of the Other in the coming to be of self-awareness (see master-slave dialectic).
