That's sad he was a great person and artist.

Damn, that sucks. RIP Mr. Hasen.

Growing up, his Dondi strip in the sunday News is one of the things that helped me learn to read. It wasn't until much later that I learned he was a Golden age comic artist.

I had the pleasure to meet and talk to him at a few NY shows where he was mostly ignored by fans.

Rest in peace.

Had a chance to talk to him briefly at DragonCon several years ago and bought a print. Very underappreciated, I think. R.I.P.

I certainly grew up reading the Peanuts strip in the daily news paper along with Peanuts, D@ck Tracey and a few others.

 

Sad to see another of the old guard pass, but I can only hope that I make it anywhere near 96.

 

 

Was not sure he was involved in this, but I saw his signature at the bottom

Very sad indeed.

 

He actually began his comic book career in the late 1930s. He had stories published in Marvel Mystery Comics issues 4 thru 9, then went on to work almost exclusively for All American/DC.

 

He was one of the few creators left from the early golden age. It is sad to lose another link to that magical era.

Spoke with him a few years ago. For a guy in his early nineties, he was full of life and personality. Seemed like a great man...

So sad to see him go. I got this from him a couple few years ago...
