He was Marvel's own Curt Swan.
He was also one of the comics industry's true gentlemen. I was fortunate enough to meet him three times at conventions in the 90s.
Rest in peace, good sir.

Another true titan of the industry gone. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and his many, many fans.
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Thanks, Raz. He was a treasure as both an artist and a person.
Fun bit of trivia: DC, for whom he'd been working for almost a decade on their romance comics, tried to get him to stay by offering him a monthly gig as Ramona Fradon's replacement on Metamorpho. That would certainly have been interesting!

Every year, we lose another legend. Really feels like the curtains are closing on the halcyon days of the medium.
Keep up with what I've been watching lately! "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you."

I agree, Kappa, but I also think that as one Era ends, another flourishes. Superhero comics may be in decline, but lots of other genres are healthier than they've ever been.
