I'm not sure if this was mentioned here yet, but Golden Age artist Fran Matera passed away last week.

I'm a latecomer to finding his work, but I have a friend who knew him. From all he tells me, Fran was a talented creator and all-around wonderful human being. He'll be missed.

Very sad, indeed. Truly one of my five favorite authors growing up. :'(
darkmark (RIP):
Ray was probably...no, definitely...my favorite author when I was growing up. I collected his works as fervently as I did any comic books. Met the man at my first San Diego con and the only thing I had for him to autograph was an old ish of ASTOUNDING, in which he'd had a short-short story pubbed in the fannish slush-pile section at the back. He looked at it and went, "Oh my God...", but still autographed it anyway. Live on, Ray.
JVJ (RIP):
News just out that Joe Kubert is gone.
Sad.
