Marshall Rogers dies
Marshall Rogers, the legendary artist of such diverse characters as Batman, Mr. Miracle, Doctor Strange, the Silver Surfer, and Green Lantern, died this weekend at the age of 57. Details have yet to be disclosed.
Marshall co-created and drew a veriety of creator-owned projects such as Detectives, Inc., Captain Quick and the Foozle, Scorpio Rose, and Coyote. He is best known for his collaborations with writer Steve Englehart. Marshall was also part of Neal Adams’ "Crusty Bunkers" crew at Continuity Studios.
A personal friend, I fondly remember Marshall telling me about the time he was working at Continuity Studios when the ceiling literally fell in. He was finishing a project for Neal, and did not want to leave his drawing table until it was finished. Folks had to work around him, as he wouldn’t budge. He was a great guy, with an awesome sense of humor and a broad smile to match.

Brilliant… especially loved page 112.Danny: "Like Kirby's and Lee's 'Coming Of Galactus' type of con." The out-stretched hand was a great touch.
Yeah – the moment I read that line of dialog from Bob I could only see that scene one way. The Kirby way.
If I may, it was pulled off with gusto! Excelsior!
Ever since I saw how Mark was planning that particular panel I've had to restrain myself – I keep thinking of a ton of places to write stuff that would invite that sort of thing. But then – cooler heads prevail. Makes me think it would be fun to do a story wherein every panel would be reminiscent of famous panels throughout comics history. Hmmm…. Bob Tinnell – posting once again anonymously because, once again, my email/password failed – and this with the new email/password I created last week. It's me. I know it now and accept that it's just me.
Excelsior? Now that's an entirely different approach. I think I got that kind of thing more into the HAMMER OF THE GODS series that I did with Mike Oeming.
