PLOP! My hero Basil Wolverton slumming it with DC. The man could do no wrong on a cover—though I can’t vouch for what’s inside! Anybody ever read this one?? #art #comics #glennhead

Have a FANTASTIC day! #jackkirby #FantasticFour

[robliefeld @robertliefeld]

Still hoping we hear a whole lot about Jack Kirby & Stan Lee this week. They are the architects of the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Galactus. The greatest run in comic book history.

[robliefeld @robertliefeld]

I have a few originals from Fantastic Four. John Byrne’s run is an epic accomplishment. The Inhumans are an absolute favorite. I regret that I never did any stories with them.

[robliefeld @robertliefeld]

Gentle reminder that Fantastic Four credit and visionary Jack Kirby left Marvel and was in a multi year lawsuit with Marvel over how deeply they screwed him over. They settled with the estate around 2016.

Jim Shooter RIP

RIP Jules Feiffer, the most psychologically acute of cartoonists. This 1967 cartoon eerily anticipated LBJ's 1971 self-justification.

[Matt Bors @MattBors]

Jules Feiffer completely innovated political cartoons, taking them beyond one-panel punchlines and visual tropes by featuring ordinary people—often in monologue—being riled, resigned, grousing, and dancing.

Straight up one of the best to ever do it.

[Thomas Scioli @tomscioli]

Jules Feiffer had an amazing career stretching back to the Golden Age working on The Spirit with Will Eisner, children’s books, comic strips, comics history books like, but the work of his that meant the most to me personally was his Homeric script for Robert Altman’s Popeye.

[Valerie D'Orazio @TheVallyD]

Feiffer’s 1965 book The Great Comic Book Heroes is just a must-read classic, and was probably *highly* influential on the “superhero boom” of the Sixties. RIP

R.I.P. JULES FEIFFER: the 1st great book about comic book history was Feiffer’s '65 THE GREAT COMIC BOOK HEROES, essays on his fave '40s superheroes w/reprints of their origins. So THANK YOU for setting me & MANY others on a path to falling in love with comic book history!

R.I.P. Michael Zulli. He was an inspiring artist and incredibly kind person. I was lucky to have known and worked with him. My sincere condolences to his loved ones...

[John Lees @johnlees927]

RIP to the legendary comic artist Michael Zulli. He was the artist on the “Men of Good Fortune” issue of The Sandman, one of my favourite single issues of any comic, and he crafted one of the most iconic images of Swamp Thing ever drawn.

[Karen Berger @karenpberger]

So sorry to hear that Michael Zulli has passed. Honored to have had his lovingly detailed, evocative art grace many stories at Vertigo. Among them,"Men of Good Fortune" & "The Wake" in Sandman, that Swamp Thing poster -- so beautiful. RIP Michael, you will be missed.
