Robot Man Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Jay Disbrow RIP I just read today that GA artist Jay Disbrow just passed away at 91. One of those quirky, cool artists that did a lot of my favorite genre, pre code horror. He was often overlooked because a lot of the books he appeared in had L.B. Cole covers which seemed to get all the love. Such a great unique style. RIP Mr. Disbrow... This kind of non descript crime book had one of my favorite Disbrow stories. The final page is epic! sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real gentleman. I had the pleasure to meet him way back when. I think I have a sketch he did for me laying around somewhere. Sad to hear of his passing.

telerites Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I really liked his clean art style and still imaginative and detailed. I actually picked up this OA in a CL auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul © ® ⚽️💙™ Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I too like Disbrow. Quite underrated and not talked about very much. At least he had a good innings. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman76 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Strange, not even a week ago I was watching the Robert Crumb documentary and he talks about him and being influenced by him and it made me dig out some comics I have with his work. Great Stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 It's great he lived to an old age; hopefully healthy. So many of the artists lived tough lives and didn't last that long. Anyone have a link to an obit to read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hap Hazard Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I was able to meet him at San Diego Comic Con some 15 years ago and bought this piece from him then. Jayman and telerites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some devilishly genius artwork, there! Definitely an unsung talent, as both artist and writer. Interestingly his bio on Lambiek is much longer than LB Cole's... Here's another awesome page of his (BBWTOT #115), courtesy of the Lambiek website: telerites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
