So you decided to add to the flood by making another thread? Fuck off.

>>82756569
Are you kidding me. News just got out he had cancer

>>82756569
That was unexpected

>>82756852
No, the news was that he'd been fighting cancer and lost. I don't believe I ever saw any news that he had cancer to begin with

>>82756832
Serious question: Are you literally autistic? Because they asked for a sticky, nothing more. They were literally asking the mods to make one of the threads "official" to keep it under control.

They kept it out of the public until it was over. Just announced that he had it yesterday. Death announcement was today.

>>82756890
His wife posted that he was going into Palliative care yesterday afternoon, twelve hours before he died.

>>82756890
The thread is still up >>82725154

Sticky this

Really a bummer. This is one of those selfish deaths because he's the type where I wish he lived and kept drawing forever. His style never got old and I would read a thousand New Frontiers or a Spirit ongoing for as long as it existed.

F

holy shit, WHAT!?

Darwyn Cooke was one of those artists like Mike Allred or Frank Miller or Howard Chaykin or John Romita Jr. or Alex Ross where you see his work and you instantly recognize it's by him. Literally one of a kind.

>>82756992
I agree, this should be stickied. We have several threads going on at once.

>>82756593
Funny thing is I partake in many a movie thread. Look at this though. Someone made a worth a shit thread arguably more implicitly related to /co/ and here I am instead. Maybe there is a lesson there?

This list is missing his final work, the miniseries Twilight Children from Vertigo. Written by Gilbert Hernandez of Love and Rockets fame and fully drawn by Darwyn Cooke.

>>82757075
People who mainly post in movie threads can only shitpost in actual /co/ related threads?

This is a better one to stick because it's the only one with an actual picture of Darwyn in the OP.

Darwyn Cooke has been both a pleasure to read and an inspiration to behold since I first received a copy of The Spirit as a Christmas gift nearly a decade ago. In an age clouded with cynicism, his art style encapuslated the wonder of a bygone era and reveled in the simpler world it hearkened back to. His vibrantly colored heroes seemed to almost always wear a smile, a symbol of hope for a brighter tomorrow in trying times. Today, I pray that those smiles and that hope are present with each of his loved ones as they mourn the passing of this tremendous talent. It has been a long, incredible journey and I thank you for having stayed the course with us fans all these years. Godspeed, Darwyn. You will be missed.

>>82757133
That's not what I was thinking, but now that you mention it, "people who mainly bitch about movie threads will do so in threads as /co/ related as movie threads" is a valid alternative. Or is the death of an artist a comic or cartoon? It's the same standards you shitheels use to justify your crying about movie threads.

Cooke was a nominee for GOAT. You're doing his memory a disservice by continuing to force your bullshit agenda. Knock it the fuck off already. There is a time and place, and this is neither.

RIP

Yes it's so unreasonable to complain about the hundenth "look at Disney's upcoming films" thread, or a moviefag company war thread, or a "Scarlett Witch is my waifu" thread, or 500 post threads about a rumor about a movie someone posted on twitter.

I have the right to get angry, you fa/tv/irgin.

RIP Cooke.


He was too good for this world.

>>82756569
It's not a trailer for a shitty movie so the mods, not reading comics or having watched any cartoon older than Adventure Time, don't know who he is so why should be get a sticky?

His work was gorgeous, I'm so glad people are storytiming it today in tribute.

finally a sticky

Rest in Peace

Guys... I think it time to press F

>>82767008
Look at the catalog. There were like 10 fucking threads today. The posting was spread out across a bunch of different threads. Otherwise there would have been a lot more in the individual ones. With a sticky now there will be.

>Maybe now he'll get the recognition he deserves.

I would love to think so, but I'm pessimistic. I doubt it. The sad thing about American comics is that a lot of names end up getting buried and forgotten over time. Obviously a lot of superficial memorials will be done for Cooke, but after a while, who knows? Most major Big 2 books wouldn't even use an artist that draws similar to his style .

I think of big names from back in the day that where highly renowned by other artists, yet seem forgotten today. Modern comic artists are more likely to take inspiration from manga, digital artists, and the more popular superhero artists like Jim Lee. Its sad, I feel like a lot of comic history is in danger of being lost to an aging niche.

I'll be honest, I wasn't familiar with him, but looking back I realize I knew his work. Damn shame; RIP

Comic Artists deserve more respect than they get

Cancer sucks

>> Barrero was best known for his roles as the voice of Seiya in Saint Seiya, Rick Hunter and Scott Bernard in Robotech, Koji Kabuto in Mazinger Z, Yamcha in Dragon Ball, Jonny Quest in the Jonny Quest animated series, Kuzco in The Emperor's New Groove, Jason Lee Scott/Red Ranger in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Koji Minamoto in Digimon Frontier, Rex in the Toy Story series, Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars saga, Zanmase Truesdale in Yu-Gi-Oh!

I hope that with his passing future concept artists respect his design more and don't force that cleveage bullshit into it. Mind you, I do love me sexy characters, but that shit only ruins an already perfect design. Besides, it's not like Selina doesn't look good with her zipper up.
