Goodbye and thank you, Jerry Robinson

[Bizarro Lois]

R.I.P.: Jerry Robinson, Joker Creator & Comics Ambassador - Comic Book Resources
Creator of the Joker, and a great artist. He will be missed.

Here is a picture of him, a print of the famous Joker card, and I at the Baltimore Comicon.

He was a cool dude. He and Marty Nodell made me cry laughing at a con once.

I bet that's a great story. Marty Nodell was good people too.

Indeed. That's awesome you got to meet him! Creator of the best villain of all time!

RIP. I agree the Joker is one of the best Villains even in his cheesiest incarnations.

I loved his work and everything I heard of him makes him sound like a gentleman.

No.....


Okay, so after a few minutes, I decided to come back. I was absolutely speechless reading the article. His abilities were beyond words, some of the most iconic images from comics came from his mind. It is a sad day.

Same here, saw him at NYCC. It's amazing how humble and unspoiled all these old gents are who created the characters we worship. They're all slipping away a few a year and it's so sad, although it's wonderful to see them getting the recognition they so deserve.
