Joe Simon, co-creator of Captain America.

With the loss of Simon and Robinson I think we have seen the last of the Golden Age creators pass away. Certainly all the big names are gone.

RIP Joe Simon

And the same day, another fantastic artist. Eduardo Barreto

Quote:

Born in 1954 in Montevideo, Uruguay, Barreto collaborated with legendary Argentine writer Hector German Oesterheld in the 1970s before making the leap in the '80s to the U.S. market, where he was most closely associated with DC Comics, for whom he drew such titles "Superman," "Action Comics," "The Shadow Strikes" and "Martian Manhunter." However, it was his extended run on "The New Teen Titans," succeeding fan-favorite artists George Perez and José Luis García-López, that brought him the most attention. Barreto also collaborated with writer James D. Hudnall on "Lex Luthor: The Unauthorized Biography," the 1989 one-shot considered by many fans to be the artist's best work.

Christopher Hitchens is gone. An equal-opportunity infuriator, to be sure. His rhetorical skills were formidable. No prayers, please, at his request. (Discount any death-bed conversion stories.)

If he was wrong on the issue of an afterlife, Mother Teresa is currently kicking him in the nuts.

I loved reading him regardless of whether I agreed with him.

The news about Hitchens isn't unexpected; he'd been very ill. Still, it saddens me deeply to have his voice silenced. He was one of a kind.
