Sunday, the great Joe Kubert passed away, and even though the characters he’s known for and the books he worked on aren’t among my personal favorites, the loss hit me in a big way. Say what you will about Kirby, Eisner, and the other greats — for my money, nobody did as much for the future of comics as Joe Kubert.
