Artist Kevin Nowlan, who knows this stuff as well as anyone, confirms my belief that Dick Giordano did not ink the cover of Green Lantern #85, which the New York Times included in his obit. I think Neal Adams inked it. Kevin thinks Neal Adams inked it. He says the fellow who owns the original art confirmed this with Neal.
This may seem picky and on some level, it is…and it happens all the time. When Jack Kirby passed, the N.Y. Times obit was accompanied by a drawing of Captain America…by John Romita. More of that damn liberal bias.
