J.H. Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 This is terrible, probably the defining artist of my 20s James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Shit. One of the best of his generation. I am done with you, 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 The very best at what he did. He defined the look of jaded, depraved superhero hating comics and made them painfully human in all the most wonderful, terrible ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 This fucking sucks. Darwyn Cooke and Steve Dillon, both in their fifties, same year. Too young. Too unfair. The loss to comics isn't even close to the full tragedy and it's still immeasurable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Tragic loss. Preacher and Welcome Back Frank are seminal works. When I discovered Preacher, it was really the first time I discovered that comics could be more adult stories that didn't have to be about superheroes or people with capes.

The Unholy Dragon Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 For those like me who get hung up on the whys and hows, Steve Dillon passed due to a burst appendix. I will say again that this fucking sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Oh god. That's (a) a shitty way to go in terms of pain, (b) something that assholes can't say is "his fault" (and please do not interpret this as saying that those things ARE his fault, because that is not my intent), and (c) something that didn't have to be fatal if anyone had checked on him in time (which is admittedly difficult). This makes me even more angry and sad than just finding out he'd died did, since it's basically just rolling a 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 It's such a dice roll too even on the thing itself. People can go in under 24h but friend of a friend had his burst for a week before seeing docs and survived. Depends on an absurd amount of factors.
