I just learned Keith Giffen passed away and I am incredibly saddened by the news. Easily one of my favorite writers AND artists to ever grace the artform. A perfect blend of Munoz, Kirby and Smith's artstyles; he soon blew past all of them to create his own imitable style. A master draftsman that continued to revolutionize what you could do on a page throughout his entire career. He NEVER got stagnant. His style and his storytelling were constantly evolving and pushing the medium forward. Not only that but he was also just such a funny cool dude who never took anything too seriously. Every interview or panel I've ever read or listened to with him, he was always so humorous, so candid. Just such a great human being. I will truly miss him not being around anymore. An absolute legend.

Rather than rambling on about how much his work meant to me, I shall honor his passing with a SMALL sampling of this titan's amazing art. The first things that pop into mind:
