RIP D ICK AYERS

[toro]

Wow, I'm bummed. I met him at the Boston show a few years ago. I was looking through some of his sketches and found a nice Sgt. Fury that I liked, his wife was trying to push some other sketches my way, but D ick said "No, he has found his favorite"

 

The sad part is most of these legends rarely have many people at there table. I bought the sketch and his book. If I was a rich man I would have bought out his whole table, just for the joy that he brought to me as a kid.

 

RIP

Another sad loss. So few of the greats left.

Ayers was there at the beginning of the Marvel Age and without his outstanding work, Marvel wouldn’t be what it is today. At early Big Apple Conventions he was a regular guest. Always gracious and kind, he made all the fans feel very welcome. He created one of my all-time favorite characters, the original Ghost Rider. One of my prized possessions is a convention commission he did of Ghost Rider. He told me that the headless horseman was his inspiration for the character. We have lost another great one. Rest in peace Mr. Ayers.
