B2D327 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 RIP, Mr. Perlin Sadly, another artist from my youth is gone. Nice of his son to say he passed peacefully though and at such an advanced age. Wow. ADAMANTIUM and Ken Aldred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DougC Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 This is sad news, had Don sign a book for me last year and his sig was still sharp. He was always very active on social media speaking with everyone, back in January he did have some health issues that were persistent and stopped posting, but his family would update. He was loved by many people as can be seen on his Facebook today with numerous stories from friends and family.

Dick Pontoon Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I'm a big fan of his work on Werewolf By Night. He was great at telling a story and at being creepy and disturbing. R.I.P. Mr. Perlin. Ken Aldred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great at telling a story and at being creepy and disturbing. R.I.P. Mr. Perlin. One aspect of the hobby that I really like is that on occasion it might take time to begin to appreciate an artist, which is good, rather than switching on to every creator when you’re a kid and having nothing left to uncover in later decades and just finding it all going stale. I discovered I could get into Perlin’s Bronze Age work far more in the clearer presentation of the recent digital remasters of WWBN, Marvel Spotlight and Moon Knight than I could in the original, muddy newsprint. Absolutely right, a great match for the genres he worked in. Also, he was, along with BWS, the artist on the classic pre-Unity Valiant issues of Solar, Man of the Atom. A sad loss.
