Oh man

I'm really feeling this.

Dick Giordano was the first professional to personally respond to a letter I wrote to DC Comics. He took the time to read it and hand wrote a response on his very cool DC stationary, and that told me a lot about Dick Giordano - the man.

I have always wanted to get a commission from him - an original that he would personalize to me but now I cant, life is like that.

My sincerest condolences to his family and may he rest in peace

Sad news. One of those names involved with comics for as long as I can remember.

Terrible news.
Great artist and one of those (few) guys in the industry that seemed to garner a lot of respect from his peers.

RIP

I recall reading a column of his in DC comic (can't remember which one, darn it, so I can't find it now) in which he details his daily routine. It was an intense schedule but his enthusiasm as so evident that it was forever my idealized notion of what it would be like to grow up and work in publishing in New York (which I did, though alas never in comics).

He sent me a personalized reply once as well, and I still have it. I loved his artwork and considered him one of the best in the business. This hits me hard as well. RIP.

One of the absolute true greats of comics and a good man from all I've ever heard.

Farewell, Mr. Giordano.
