Very sad. I posted a few pieces to comicartfans in his honor:

Sad news indeed. Another very underappreciated artist (except by his peers who held him in high regard). I met him in San Diego in the 90's and can confirm that he was an incredible nice guy. Among other things he signed this issue of Crossfire for me:

I recommend Dan Spiegle: A Life In Comic Art by John Coates from Two Morrows Publishing.

Sorry to hear this.

 

Was a big fan during the 1960s of Dan's work for Space Family Robinson (Lost in Space).

 

Within recent years, I bought 5 pages of art from Space Family Robinson # 1 via Dan's agent Dave Karlen (all up in my CAF).

 

On a trip to Los Angeles a couple of years ago I met-up with an old friend who owns most of the other pages from the remainder of that very first book. He bought those directly from Dan.

 

Interestingly, Dan seemed to have retained all the OA from # 1, yet the vast majority of pages from the issues that followed are not known to exist.
