This will be short because I really didn't know Keith Giffen. Met him once up at DC…chatted briefly at some convention…no real connection. Seeing messages this evening online from those who knew and loved the guy, I guess I missed out on some encounters I would have enjoyed. I did enjoy that he was one of those "you never know what he'll do next" type of creative talents. But you can find all that out just by reading most of the work he left us…work that is already being reprinted for a new generation.
If you came here thinking you'd hear all about the guy, I apologize. But if you search around on the online comic book forums, you'll find plenty about him. I think I'll go read some of those messages myself. He's already sadly missed.
