Bird Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 oh, sad. RIP Ken Kelly I talked to him once and he was a nice guy it seemed. Certainly a prominent figure in the collective unconscious of my age bracket.

We talked for a few minutes and he signed a few prints for me. Very nice guy. Randall Dowling, oakman29, Bird and 1 other 4

Catwomancomics Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) RIP Mr. Kelly Very sad news. I was literally think about him last week while looking at Star Wars 1999 series. Great artist, admire his work from Kiss to Vampirella to Star Wars. Edited June 8, 2022 by Catwomancomics
SpideyFein Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 May he rest in piece. Another legend whose art could inspire and make you believe and smile. For those posting his stuff, keep posting. I have some mags I hope to post as well.
