This is such sad news. My heart goes out to his family & friends during this diffcult time.

Yeah, this one is a little flummoxing. Dude was an ABSOLUTE LEGEND. He was on my list of one of the people I HAD to meet before the chance wouldn't be around anymore. He will be missed.

We've lost a true legend of the industry. His upcoming book for DC is the first one I've ordered since dropping them last August. The fact that this is probably his very last work, it will be even more special. RIP, Joe, and thanks for the memories.

Sad, sad, sad. A true legend, my thoughts and prayers to the Kubert family.

RIP Joe.

One of the very few GIANTS of the industry. I'm thankful we had him as long as we did. God bless his family.

He's been a presence in the field for so long it's difficult to imagine not seeing anymore work from him. But the work he did! Extroadinary! Thank you for work. Mr Kubert. Rest in peace.

I was just rereading the Showcase Presents Unknown Soldier earlier this week. Mr Kubert is the reason I got into war comics back in the early 80s. And even now anytime I find a book with his art on the cover or on the interiors in the cheap bins I have to pick it up.

Chuck_Melville

Kubert was one of those artists whose work was so good, so perfectly crafted, that it was hard not to pick up anything that he drew. Even if the story wasn't to my liking, his art always excelled. You really have to go back far to his beginnings to see any roughness in his work, and even then there was something interesting going on. The industry was great for his presence, and a little bit diminished with his passing.

Rest in peace.

Just imagine there really would be a place we all go to after we leave this life - what awesome comics we will get there.
