We've lost another of comic's founding fathers. Joe Kubert died yesterday at the age of 85.
"It's never been work for me. I think I retired the first job I took...I would be drawing whether I was hired to do this work or not...I would be drawing."
Interview with Legendary Comics Artist Joe Kubert from The Comic Archive on Vimeo.
______
One of his last print interviews (with a nice timeline of some of his greatest accomplishments).
The Time Bullet - A nice blog post from a fan, featuring great examples of Kubert's older work.
Fellow artists react to his passing.
Interesting interview from 2001 on War comics and what was going on in the industry at the time.
Another great interview here.
...and finally, a link to The Kubert School - teaching and inspiring generations of artists since its opening in 1976.
Rest in peace, Mr. Kubert. Thanks for all you've given us.
sad day for all comic book fans, we have lost an icon. RIP JOE
