Now, that's the way a famous person in their 90s should go: quietly and quickly. None of this Billy Graham/Zsa Zsa Gabor publicity seeking.

Jerry Robinson, R.I.P (Creator of the Joker)

Quote:

Robinson co-created Robin, the Boy Wonder and is often credited as the primary influence for arch-villain the Joker, though Kane and Robinson would clash over credit for the villain's creation in later years. The artist was soon hired away from Kane's shop by "Batman" publisher DC/National Comics, for which he served as a staff artist, drawing many of the most striking covers of comics Golden Age.

The end up in next year's recap, I guess.

I was amazed, Liz Taylor died? ;-)

Their body remains in suspended animation, somewhere between life and death, the mind trapped in excruciating anguish until next year's list can be released.

So, that's what the deal was. I think I worked with a guy in this very situation, Univ. of Wisconsin, late 1980's. I wonder if he ever made it to the Other Side.

Anybody who dies in the last two weeks goes unnoticed. Because the alternative is that someone would have to work on the this over the holidays so that it could be released January 2.

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.
