So sorry to note the passing of Scottish writer Alan Grant, who distinguished himself on Judge Dredd in the 80s, and parlayed that into writing numerous Batman stories. There he co-created such memorable villains as Anarky and the Ventriloquist. Rest in peace, good sir.

"I've gotten to do what I've wanted to do in life since I was a child. I've been making comics for 45 years, and I didn't have to backstab anyone. I don't have an enemy in the industry or the world. And the fact that I got to 'do' what I love...it's a blessing." - George Pérez

Happy 97th birthday to the utterly astonishing Ramona Fradon! A trailblazer for women in comics, she co-created Metamorpho & had runs on AQUAMAN, PLASTIC MAN, SUPER FRIENDS, and a host of DC horror tales, the latter which she called "a lot of fun." She is living comics history!

For those who grew up on Batman movies and Loki miniseries, it may seem hard to know the feeling of belonging to a small, select club of comic fandom.
When giants like Adams & Pérez leave us, it feels like a death in the family.
These guys felt like friends, and we loved them.

The beloved Marie Severin was born OTD in 1929. She began her work in comics for EC when her brother John needed a colorist, but it was her Marvel time that endeared her to fandom. Her unparalleled gift for whimsy made her the heart and soul of the Bullpen. Marie died in 2018.

Jazzy Johnny Romita, Sr. would have been 94 today. He was working as a romance artist at DC when Stan lured him to Marvel, where he took over SPIDER-MAN from Steve Ditko. He quickly became the fixit guy and eventually Art Director. His impact on Marvel was immeasurable.

Artist Mike Wieringo would have been 60 today. His time on FLASH, ROBIN, his co-creation TELLOS, & SPIDER-MAN made him a star, but his FF issues w/Mark Waid are among the best in their 60-year history. We should be wishing him happy birthday, but he died far too young at only 44.

Jim Shooter turns 70 today. The former Marvel EIC saw both a creative exodus during his tenure, while many of Marvel's books went on to creative peaks. He also wrote for the company, and his AVENGERS Korvac storyline may be his best-remembered. Co-founded Valiant Comics in 1989.
