Nick Cardy. (Who I met Saturday. What a sweet guy!)
Nick is the best. For those who don’t know, he drew over 300 covers for DC, most of them during the mid-’60s to early ’70s. It was near the tail-end of his time there that I started reading comics, and so much of what I love about the DC characters stems from his (along with Jim Aparo’s) work. I’m glad you got to meet him, Stewart, because this may well have been his last convention.
I need to figure out to post images. I'd like to show the cover of Superman #279, which was one of my favorite covers when I was a wee lad. (And it’s still pretty cool.)

He seemed incredibly sharp, and in pretty good shape for a man in his 90s!

I talk with him every couple of months, and there’s been a noticeable dropoff in his health over the past two years. Travelling is becoming very hard for him. Thankfully, he’s still pretty sharp mentally.
I consider this one of the most beautiful comic book covers ever.
Likewise, and that story is one of Nick’s favorites that he worked on. Bat Lash was a great series. There’s a Showcase volume available that collects the entire run, which I heartily recommend. I bought it even though I have all the issues, just so I could see it all in black-&-white. Nick is his own best inker, and this is probably his best sequential work. He even wrote one of the issues.
I believe that cover has never been reprinted in any collections due to legal reasons (copyright infringement) IIRC?
You are correct, Sir! The two Bolland issues of Dredd dealing with a homicidal Colonel Sanders and the Michelin Man, and McMahons 'MacDonalds vs Burger King' episodes were indeed banned. However, with a little twisting of my arm I can post them both here...for er... historical reasons only...ahem.
I'm gonna sound like an idiot but how do you post a pic?

By the way, his interior art was phenomenal as well.
The man knew how to tell a story!
Wow! Never seen this before now. It's awesome.
Another one I've never seen before. Love it. Could be hanging in a gallery. There is so much beauty in comics.
LOVE IT!
This might be my favorite drawing of Black Canary, EVER!

Even more Cardy
This book has interiors by Cardy & Kane. One of the most beautiful comics ever drawn.

This is the 2nd comic I ever bought. Thanks to @Caliban for showing me how to post.
