When I read yesterday that Darwyn Cooke<\/strong> was battling an aggressive cancer, it was like an unexpected gut shot. \u00a0Truth be told, I only knew Darwyn<\/strong> through his art, stories and the several times I met him at comic shows… but I was such a fan and Darwyn<\/strong> always treated me (and other fans) with such respect and kindness, it sure seemed I knew him better than I did.<\/p>\n

I’ve always loved Darwyn’s art<\/strong><\/a> and when he began adapting Richard Stark’s Parker novels<\/strong><\/a>, I thought it could never get better than that. \u00a0Each time I caught up with Darwyn<\/strong> at a show I’d have his latest hardcover for him to sign and he always included a quick headsketch with the signature. \u00a0I loved talking to Darwyn<\/strong> about his latest project and what was coming.<\/p>\n

Sadly it was announced today<\/strong><\/a> that Darwyn<\/strong> passed at 1:30 this morning surrounded by friends, family and aware of all of the well-wishes that had been pouring in since the news about his illness had been announced.<\/p>\n

My thoughts, prayers and best wishes go out to Darwyn’s<\/strong> family, friends and fans. \u00a0Rest in Peace, Darwyn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
