Holding a career that spanned 9 decades, dating back to 1939, artist Joe Kubert died Sunday at age 85. Kubert worked for DC for most of his life, famously making the first 3-D comic book (requiring the glasses and all). He served as director of publications for DC from 1967 to 1976. He opened The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in the ’70s, which still exists today. In the 1990s, he was still working, doing Marvel’s Epic imprint, and after the turn of the millennium, wrote extensively about the Jewish experience, both as a whole and his own personal story.

Benton Sartore has been reading comic books off and on since his age was in single digits, and playing RPGs since college. He enjoys a variety of comic books, TV shows, and movies, and he's a little too proud of his DVD collection. And for some stupid reason, he can't let go of Star Wars, no matter how much dumb stuff the franchise does.
Benton is also an acting editor at In Genre.
