March 28, 2010: Dick Giordano Dies Aged 77

Longtime comics creator Dick Giordano passed away this week, aged 77.

    In the late '60s, Giordano went to work for DC Comics where aside from performing editorial duties for a number of years, he also served as an inker. Eventually, he took up a position with Neal Adams' Continuity Studios, inking many memorable projects for Adams and others including the superhero genre-redefining "Batman" and "Green Lantern/Green Arrow" as well as blockbuster specials like "Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man" and "Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali." His trademark was his thick expressive brushwork which always stood out with a personal flair while never detracting from the realistic cartooning of collaborators like Adams and Ross Andru.
