I don’t want to repeat myself and I think I covered the man’s great career over a year go with my obituary.
I will add this about him. The man took inking to a new level. Normally in comic books, the star attraction is the penciller, then the writer with the inker in last. There are times the writer and penciller are juxtaposed, but never the inker. You could say they’re the bass players of comic books. However, when you have a kick-ass inker like Dick, Terry Austen, Jerry Ordway or Klaus Janson, then your comic book has Flea, Donald “Duck” Dunn, John Taylor or Charles Mingus laying down the groove, although ink goes over pencils and is before coloring.
Again, the man is synonymous with defining Batman’s modern look from the Seventies on. He isn’t exclusively the guy, but he’s near the top with Neal Adams, Walt Simonson and Marshall Rogers. I wonder how he would’ve felt about the reboot.
