Rest In Peace, Joe Simon (1913-2011)

Sad to learn of Joe Simon’s passing today. By all accounts, he lived a great life, surrounded by family and friends, making comics and graphic art.

His recent autobiography, “My Life In Comics,” is a treasure.

Thanks, Joe, for everything. You’ll be missed, remembered and celebrated.
