Dan Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Is Stan the last man standing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I might toss John Romita Sr. in there, but since he wasn't one of the Marvel Founding Fathers, yeah, I think Stan's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I guess I'd throw in Larry Lieber. He's certainly not a big name, but he's credited as co-creator of Iron Man, Thor, and Ant-Man. This is enormous. Not only did Ditko give us Spider-Man and Doctor Strange (as well as The Question, and Squirrel Girl, and Lord knows however many I'm not thinking of), but his storytelling and imagery were unmatched. I could look at his work in Strange Tales all day. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I don't know if I've lived through a greater loss from the comic book industry. I mean, I was alive when Kirby died but certainly was too young to know who he was. But in terms of Marvel architecture and levels of artist greatness, this is a gigantic loss. Everyone should watch Jonathan Ross' "In Search of Steve Ditko" right now just to get a glimpse of the talent that just left this Earth.

Dread Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Lee and Romita are the only two icons from the Marvel Age still standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
