Marshall Rogers passes away

Heidi MacDonald is reporting the death of Marshall Rodgers.

Those of you who read comics probably know Marshal's work. His run on Batman kept the book from being canceled in the mid 70's, and his run on Dr. Strange was the best since Ditko worked on the book. He worked on a lot of other comics, and I bought all of them. His work was amazingly inventive, had a thin, clean line, and worked in every genre effortlessly. He even drew the Batman syndicated comic strip in the late 80's, showing that he could bring his trademark style to a much more restrictive medium.

I met him briefly at the Minneapolis Convention, and he was a charming man who seemed surprised that so many people loved his work.

Made made great comics, and I'll miss his work.
