This tremendous talent passed away in May but I didn’t want to ignore Darwyn so he’s my initial obituary entry for catching up while I was out sick.
Darwyn had a distinctive style which most people recognize via his masterpiece mini-series The New Frontier. For my money, it was an impressive story covering DC’s transition from the Golden to Silver Age; the Fifties to the early Sixties. What made him even more amazing was time as an animator for the Batman cartoon of the early Nineties. This experience helped him stay involved in adapting Frontier into a direct-to-video feature.
