News Comic artist Norm Breyfogle passed away

[Kai "the spy"]

Norm Breyfogle, best known for his influential run on Batman, has passed away at the age of 58. Breyfogle suffered a stroke in 2014, leaving him paralyzed and no longer able to draw. He died on September 24 (my birthday, of all days).

Breyfogle did not only have a unique and dynamic style, but also co-created some of the most memorable new characters in the Batman mythos in recent history, including (but not limited to) Scarface/Ventriloquist, Victor Zsasz, Anarky, as well as Tim Drake/Robin III.

Oh, no. For me he was THE Batman artist, like Aparo was for those before. I loved his work.

RIP.

Very sad to hear this. I followed a lot of his Batman run in the '80s, including the introduction of The Ventriloquist. Classic stuff.

Rest well, Mr. Aparo...

So sad. RIP. I loved his Batman stuff.
