madrobinsRoger Ebert has died, and I'm sad. He was a graceful writer with a humane, intelligent take on the world. He was also an SF geek, a man who deeply loved the movies, a raconteur, and a survivor. The world's a little dimmer.
And Carmine Infantino, legendary artist on (in particular) the silver-age DC comics, is gone too. He was not a draughtsman (his perspective on human figures could be really comical) but he was a brilliant designer with a clean, modern style unlike anything else in comics. The image I have of the future as a physical place is very much the one Infantino drew.
They had good runs, but that doesn't mean I have to like that they are gone.
