[Salvor.Hardin]

Wow. RIP. His life and work will undoubtedly be cherished for ages.

Never heard of him.

 

[PhoenixDark]

RIP

 

[the chris]

Wow that sucks, I was just telling my friend about some of the old school comic artists and used Joe Kubert as a prime example of one of the greats.

 

[Viewt]

One of the most talented cartoonists ever. And to even further solidify his legacy, he taught hundreds of other artists, many of which are now stars in the industry.

 

[Callo Merlose]

Oh God, I've always loved his style. Andy and Adam honor him well. I hope he enjoyed his life as much as I enjoyed his work. Resquiat in pacem, sir.

 

[Parallax]

damn. pouring one out on behalf of comicgaf.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Never heard of him.

Until now. Go find some of his stuff. A true legend in comics, and his sons are fantastic artists as well.

 

[Gr1mLock]

RIP Joe.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

Aw man

 

[Amagon]

Shitty news to hear, especially since his school is five minutes away from my house.

RIP Kubert

 

[JHall]

That's sad news, may he rest in peace.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Oh wow. Sorry to hear. Loved his work.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

[the chris]

This thread needs more Joe Kubert art.

 

[Anticitizen One]

I am very saddened by this news. Joe Kubert was a legend in the Comic book industry. His work on Sgt.Rock alone is legendary.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

RIP. I remember wanting to go to his school when I was a kid after seeing ads for it in every other comic. True legend and innovator.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Man this is sad news. RIP. I love his work and his boys work.

 

[ReiGun]

I loved the heck out of Enemy Ace. Still do.

 

[Matrix]

A legend.

RIP

 

[kidtamagotchi]

I've been reading the DC Comics: Sixty Years of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heroes book, and Joe Kubert and his art is mentioned a lot in it. I really like his style.

Rest in peace Mr. Kubert.

 

[speedpop]

 

[WX3]

Damn, love his work. Too soon for a legend. RIP

 

[SoilBreak]

RIP

 

[Slime]

John Severin, Mœbius, and now Joe Kubert. Sad year.

RIP.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I remember reading just a few weeks or so ago that he and his son were working on a book together. Was it one of the Watchmen books?

 

[TheKaeptain]

Whoa

 

[Elginer]

wow. SO sad. It was my dream to always go to the Kubert school growing up. He will be missed.

 

[bengraven]

Tragic. A huge legend in the comics field. RIP

I had plans to go to his school for much of high school but we were too poor financially and my art was too poor artistically.

 

[dispensergoinup]

aw man... r.i.p. Joe..

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Buy his new shit that comes out in October brahs.

 

[speedpop]

One more from an oldie but a goodie.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I remember reading just a few weeks or so ago that he and his son were working on a book together. Was it one of the Watchmen books?

'Before Watchmen: Nite Owl'; he was inking over his son Andy's pencils. Joe also had a six-issue anthology series coming in October from DC, featuring new material from him and other industry legends.

RIP

 

[ViewtifulJC]

One of the great comic book legends. His legacy through his work, his two super-talented sons, and everything from his school will live on. RIP Joe Kubert.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

sad day. He had a long life thankfully, hopefully he went in peace. Thanks for inspiring me and I'm sure millions of other artists.

 

[wenis]

Always appreciate the greats while they're still around and continue to enjoy the budding future greats while they're still developing.

 

[Spike Spiegel]
