You probably heard earlier this week that Joe Kubert past away Sunday.  I never met Mr. Kubert in person, but have been an admirer of his work for quite a long time.  

To the Kubert family, please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Joe Kubert inspired the artists who inspired the artists who inspired us.

I don’t think it ever occurred to me that there’d be a time when we wouldn’t have Joe Kubert. Joe has been a constant in the comics industry, almost since there WAS a comics industry. I’m trying to envision our business without Joe, and right now I honestly can’t.  He was the best of what we had to offer: artist, writer, teacher, humanitarian. Asking me to put Joe’s legacy into a few words is useless. I can’t. Nobody can.
