Darwyn Cooke has passed

The great comic book artist and writer has died at the age of 53. He worked on animation and comic book projects. I believe he was scheduled to attend the upcoming San Diego Comic Con International. He died from cancer and he will be missed by his fans and family.

"I met him once or twice and he was very cordial," Soltero.

His most famous work is New Frontiers from DC.
He had a unique style, a retro look but one that never existed. He had a way with two tones, and flat colors, with an expressionistic application.

Another great project that he worked on was the Parker series of graphic novels.

Darwyn also had an awesome team-up with Gilbert Hernandez on the Twilight Children from Vertigo.
