RIP Dick Giordano 1932-2010

Comics lost a giant with the passing this morning of Dick Giordano, a former Executive Editor at DC and an influential inker who helped shape the look of Bronze Age comics and usher in a new era of talent.


Giordano's career included work at Charlton, Dc and Continuity Associates, the studio run by Neal Adams. As Adam's inker on such much admired works as Batman and Green Lantern/Green Arrow, Giordano's techniques influenced a generation of inkers, including Terry Austin, Bob Layton, Al Milgrom, Joe Rubinstein, and Bob Wiacek, essentially setting the tone for the entire Bronze Age of comics.
