RIP John Cassaday

[TTRPGWhiz]

Cassaday drew some of my favorite books of a certain era (Planetary, Astonishing X-Men, Captain America) and won or was nominated for a bunch of Eisners for that work. More importantly, he always seemed to be incredibly well liked among his peers. He was just 52 years old.

I never read any of those books.  The guy was clearly a talented artist, though. That panel is freaking amazing.  RIP

Recommending those books (Warren Ellis's Planetary and the Whedon X-Men run) in 2024 is...a little fraught, given their writers, but they are really good books.

And he could draw feet!
