Terrible, terrible loss; Joe was one of those artists whose work you just knew when you saw it. You didn't need to see a signature to recognize a Joe Kubert piece. He was legitimately one of the finest artists and storytellers the industry has ever seen, and we are all diminished by his passing.

Didn't know what he had died from until reading this today.  My father was diagnosed with the same thing a couple months ago (he's 20 years younger than Kubert).  Wow.

Sad to say I'm not surprised.

Great story.  The original obituary -- someone should have been reprimanded for that bullshit.  Fortunately, they made it right afterwards.  Reading the circumstances that occurred that led to this makes it somewhat understandable, but nauseating all the same.

Cool that Waid (hardly a favorite at DC) was able to call them out on it and then big enough to thank them for making the correction.

Larry Hama called them on it on his Facebook page as well (that was the first place I read about it, anyway). Whomever let some p.r. department doofus write DC's official acknowledgement of the passing of an industry giant needs a good waterboarding.
