Comics

We lost two legends of comics the last few weeks.
Neal Adams - The co-founder of the graphic design studio Continuity Associates, and was a creators-rights advocate who helped secure a pension and recognition for Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
George Perez - Puerto Rican, South Bronx native who wrote, penciled and inked such notable works as The Avengers, The New Teen Titans, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Wonder Woman and many, many more. A true comic inspiration.
R.I.P Comic Gods.
