RIP: Keith Giffen

[dewline]

Good evening, everyone.

I have read of Keith Giffen's passing earlier tonight. I've made friendships because of his work, and he was one of the artists that inspired me to try my own hand at the crafting of comics.

I'm sorry he's gone. I'm grateful that he was here.

Oof. I hadn't heard until I read it on your journal. I remember Giffen well, originally from his initial run on Legion of Super-Heroes (I think that run popularized Darkseid as an adversary beyond his New Gods origin), and his zany take on Ambush Bug was pretty memorable. He also did a bit in a short-lived attempt to revive the THUNDER Agents.

And, of course, his writing chores on JLI.
