Not so much a "comic artist", though he did do some creator owned manga I guess and some covers for DC/Marvel? 1 in a billion artist, Kim Jung Gi, who could draw massive mural type drawings with ink only from his mind mostly, passed away Oct. 3rd/4th in Paris.  I have loved watching this guy drawing on YouTube videos.

Yeah.  It was a terrible loss.  That guy had a muse sitting on his shoulder for the last five+ years.  Without any sketching or layouts he would just tap into some subconscious/freudian world and it would pour forth from his pen into a finished illustration.

He did some covers both for DC and Marvel.  A lot of his work is for mature audiences.
