Richard Joseph Giordano 1932-2010 R.I.P :-(

[Tiziano]

From Mr.Giordano's dear friend and student Bob Layton:

 

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

It is my sorrowful duty to announce that legendary artist/editor/entrepreneur

Giordano passed away today.

Few could ever hope to match what he accomplished in his chosen profession, or to excel while maintaining great humor, compassion for his peers and an unwavering love for the art form.

His unique vision changed the comic industry forever and all of those who work in the

business continue to share in the benefits of his sizable contributions.

I have been honored to call him a business partner, mentor and dear friend throughout the majority of my lifetime.

We will not see his like again.

 

Regretfully,

Bob Layton

 

Had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Giordano many times over the year's.

A true gentlemen.

R.I.P sir.
