I wake up this morning to the news that legendary comic book illustrator Joe Kubert has passed. I honestly cried a little bit, I can't begin to tell how much of an influence he and his sons have had on me and the entire comic book community at large.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Kubert He has an almost unparalleled legacy in the comic book industry as one of the most prolific comic book artists of all time. Don't get me wrong, I love the work of somebody like, say, John Cassaday who is notoriously slow, but Joe was from a generation of workers who could really churn the stuff out and still make it gorgeous.

So sad. I was wondering why he had to cancel his appearance at the Allentown Comic Con. Poor guy. He had quite an exciting life, though. And I can only imagine how many people he helped & inspired. I bet the flags at the Joe Kubert Art School in Dover are at half mast.

He was one of my favorites before I even knew who he was. I just remember seeing his style and loving it.
He was an amazing artist and did so much for the comic community outside of just drawing. He will be missed.
