Bernie was one of those early BA artists who made us all realize that we were going to have to start taking comics seriously.... they just weren't going to be just funny books anymore

Spot-on Jim. The early 70s was such a great jumping-in point for the medium.

Noooooooooooo!

So sad!  He will be missed by many.  I got the chance to get a couple signatures and shake his hand at Baltimore a couple years ago and he seemed very down to earth and friendly.

I never knew or met the man, but I admired his work from afar, and it's a beautiful thing that he leaves something of himself behind forever, which few of us get to do. 

A timely reminder to cherish your friends and family while you can.

Rest peacefully, my unknown friend.

One of the greatest of all time. Very sad news

Was one of my art inspirations. Only met him once and regret I didn't at least get something signed. RIP to a comic legend

Ugh, one of the staples of my favorite eras/genres of the hobby. RIP.

He was the man, and as my years of collecting went on and my appreciation for his art continued, I started to recognize him as one of the greats. He will surely be missed. God bless!

One of the greatest horror artists the industry has ever known. At least I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times.

Bernie was great. Was he a 'legend'? Well he deserves to be called so IMO. He helped to inject freshness into the comic book horror genre. His work will stand the test of time for sure. Terrible news. Sad day.

Great guy !  Legendary details. Sad news.

And I thought I was depressed when he retired....

Thank you again Bernie!

His introduction to me was as a kid in the 80s by a Marvel Graphic novel. What talent. He will be missed.

[Batman1fan]

Rest In Peace, sir, knowing that your work will live on.

R.I.P. , Bernie.  Gone too soon.
