Renowned comic book artist Nick Cardy has passed away, according to multiple reports. Over a career that began in comics'  golden age and spanned multiple decades, Hardy -- a member of the Will Eisner Hall of Fame -- produced the majority of his comics work for DC Comics, including memorable runs on Teen Titans, Aquaman, and the short lived but highly regarded Bat Lash.

A brand new hardcover graphic novel by Walter Simonson seems like the kind of thing that would have a huge push behind it, but while it might just be me not paying attention
