He was always friendly at these shows, but never hid his sharp wit. His creations, The Doom Patrol, Deadman (and X-Men???) were not run of the mill, but unique. He will be missed.

We chatted a bit and he signed my Doom PAtrol Archive Vol 1. Fresh, witty, and an eye witness to the comic world of the last fifty years. Does anyone have a link to his songs at SDCC 2005?

I was putting off buying the third Doom Patrol archives, but off to Amazon I go... I always heard those were great, then finally go the first two... and when you read them in big chunks, there really is this palpable weirdness, and its super hero comics .... on the small scale, charmingly bizarre stuff...

Makes me glad I went to a panel he was on last SDCC. Interviewing him (and having a lovely and fun conversation with his late wife) several years ago was a real treat. He was a delighfully unvarnished cantankerous (in the good way) fellow and I'm going to miss going to panels for the purpose of waiting for him to let loose with a zinger. Damnit.
