We salute you, Joe

Undoubtedly, you are a legend. It is often a heavy burden knowing we lose another pillar. We can all rest assured that your legacy has cemented its foundation; the fortress won't fall. As a mainstay of the comic book, nay, the illustration world, waves of your influence will ripple out endlessly now. I once considered enrolling in the Kubert School, and y'know, I still would. You are survived by your sons, legends in their own right, fulfilling a legacy that any man would be proud of. In truth, I am a far greater fan of Adam Kubert but he got all of it from you, and for that I am thankful.

Joseph Kubert
(September 18, 1926 - August 12, 2012)
