Joe Kubert Passes. Leaves Us His Incredible Legacy.
Legendary might not even be the kind of word that can best describe the life and career of Joe Kubert; being a two-time Eisner award winner, inductee to multiple comic book Hall of Fames, co-creator of Sgt. Rock, founder of The Kubert School, and father to Andy and Adam Kubert who themselves are successful comic creators are just some elements to his lengthy resume.
On Sunday morning, August 12, he sadly passed away at age 85.
It’s too bad guys like this can’t live forever.

The Kubert School…
Geez, what a great guy.
A fantastic thing about comics though, his work isn’t going anywhere.
His school’s website is encouraging donations to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, we second that. You can donate @ themmrf.org.
Rest in peace Mr. Kubert.
