November 4, 2013: Artist Nick Cardy Dies

Superman #253 DC Comics has confirmed that long-time comic book artist Nick Cardy passed away this week, aged 93.

    Like many early comic pros, Cardy began his career working under the tutelage of the legendary Will Eisner, as part of the Eisner and Iger studio. But it was his arrival at DC Comics in 1950 that saw the artist begin to show signs of the legend that would soon form around him.

    Cardy's smooth line and dynamic sense of action graced the first appearance of the Teen Titans in THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #60, not to mention almost 40 issues of AQUAMAN during the character's initial Silver Age solo series.

    Cardy continued his relationship with DC's teen team for the entirety of TEEN TITANS 43-issue Silver Age run, redefining the collection of sidekicks through his innovative and yet still classical brushstroke, with a dash of post-modernist design and 60s swagger.

    Cardy was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame in 2005.

Cardy's Superman work included cover art for Superboy #182-198, 200-206 (1972-75), Superman #253-262, 264-285 (1972-75), Superman Family #165-169 (1974-75), and Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #154-163 (1972-74).
