RIP: Dick Giordano

An excellent artist and inker and a driving force in the DC Comics of my youth, Giordano passed away this morning at the age of 77.

I'm so glad that he and Roy Thomas completed their adaptation of Stoker's Dracula in 2005 after leaving it incomplete for 30 years. At the time it was simply nice to see that bit of business finally tied up, but now it's a capstone to his career.

Dick Giordano was a really big deal. I think you have more knowledge about him of interest in terms of how he inked, maybe with Neal Adams.
