Darwyn Cooke has Passed

The announcement on his website.

My sympathies for the family of Darwyn Cooke, who passed away earlier this weekend. Age 53, the cause was cancer (the illness that has robbed all of us of countless friends and family). Cooke was a stellar artist whose, "The New Frontier," he did for DC was how I first became familiar with him. His adaptations of the, "Parker," books were great too and his contributions to, "Before Watchmen: Minutemen," made it the only, "Before Watchmen," book worth giving the slightest damn about.

Many of Cooke's peers have been sharing their responses to Cooke's passing. He will be missed.
