That only encourages the diversions, though. Easier to keep us under control when it's off-topic.

He was best known for his work on "Flash", "Mystery in Space's Adam Strange" series with Murphy Anderson's inks and "Strange Adventures's Space Museum" series which he did his own inks on.
I loved reading all of them. May he rest in peace.

It is with great great sadness that I tell you that the wonderful cartoonist, artist, and story teller, Spain Rodriguez, passed this earth this morning of complications of cancer. He had just started home hospice and his wife and daughter were with him. Services are yet to be announced. He passed at the same time the prenumbral eclipse was happening, and like the earths shadow on the edges of the moon, his shadow was at the edges of the art world for over five decades. He changed and challeged the art and social world as we know it. More info to come.

I really liked Rodriguez's work in the "underground comics." His Trashman character was a bastard son of conventional comics, but his real genius came out in things like "Captain Pissgum and his Perverted Pirates. He was an original and I doubt we'll see another like him.

I'm a little late here, just started reading this thread, but I must make a correction: CAPT PISSGUMS was by S. Clay Wilson, not Spain Rodriguez. Clay has had his own serious issues but is still among the living. They're both great guys (I met them back in my 'underground' days) and had great impact on the field, Spain with his chunky style and political bent, and Clay for just being totally over-the-top mindblowing and tastebusting.

I have always been a huge fan of Carmine for at least forty-five years.
Carmine had a distinctive style that I always sought out.
His work always had a light airy touch to it.
In particular his Flash, Adam Strange and Elastic Man.
