Longtime Legion colorist Carl Gafford apparently passed away within the past couple of weeks. I don't know many details, but it's worth taking a moment to remember one of the key figures in Levitz's classic second run on the Legion.

The latest rereads made me realise how important Gafford's palette was in adding to the atmosphere and effect of Giffen's art. It really was a team effort behind the success of the book at the time, and Gafford was certainly a part of that. "...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."
