I hate doing these sort of write ups. Comics legend, Joe Kubert, dead at 85.
He was an amazing man. He's contributed so much to the industry, including opening up the Kubert School in New Jersey in 1976. Take a look at all the issues he worked on here. He will be missed. We would like to share our condolences to the Kubert family and friends.
