Rudy LaPick, R.I.P.

Longtime Archie inker Rudy LaPick died this morning, and I'm afraid I don't have more details about his career or passing than that. I know he worked for Timely Comics in the late forties and then went over to Archie where he may have set the industry record for most pages inked. Jim Amash did an interview with him in Alter Ego #22 but I can't get to my copy right now to get more info. I just wanted to note the loss of an artist who quietly produced so much work, and who did it so well that most of the Archie artists asked to have him embellish their pencil art. Never met the man but I sure respect the output.
