RIP Jack Kamen

[ColonelDax]

Slightly belated, but I only just noticed that another of the great EC Comics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EC_Comics) artists died earlier this month, this time Jack Kamen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kamen), from cancer. I always liked the fact that while his style was very much one of romance/Good Girl comics, EC used him for

"... those stories where the All-American girl and guy are married, and then chop each other to pieces." -- Al Feldstein

Here (http://www.sci.fi/~karielk/kamefact.htm) is a link to a site with more biographical information and some samples of his work. Oh, and he was the father of Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway.

Another? Who else passed recently?

Now I get the '2008's been a bad year for comics creators' reference in a thread about the passing of Carlos Meglia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Meglia) on another community, though...
