I am not up to the task of writing this but the passing of one of the world's great comic artists must be noted here. Victor de la Fuente, often called the master of the form in the Spanish comic art community, passed recently at the age of 83. The obits merely say it was after "long years of illness."
He was a master of realism on the comic page, especially in westerns such as Tex Willer and Les Gringos. Not nearly enough of his work has been published in English but there's much to be said for admiring the pictures he drew. Tom Spurgeon has a much better piece on the man than I am capable of writing.
