Happy George Tuska Day!

He doesn't have Internet access but I don't care: I'm going to wish a happy 92nd birthday to George Tuska, a great comic book artist who's been in the business since 1939 when he began assisting on the Scorchy Smith newspaper strip and working in the studio of the aforementioned Will Eisner. Over the years, Tuska worked for most of the major publishers with long, notable stints as the keystone artist on Crime Does Not Pay, and work at Marvel, particularly on Iron Man. A fine gentleman and a fine talent…and I just had to say it even if he'll never see it.
