Darwyn Cooke has passed away
Darwyn Cooke, a Canadian comic-book artist who gave his signature retro flair to DC Comics heroes as well as one of crime literature's more notable protagonists, died early Saturday morning at the age of 54.
His wife Marsha Cooke confirmed the news in a statement one day after posting on the artist's blog that he was receiving palliative care following a bout with aggressive lung cancer.
Darwyn Cooke, who died at his home in Florida, was a Toronto native who worked as an art director and graphic designer until the 1990s when he was hired by Warner Bros. Animation to be a storyboard artist on Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series.

His brother Dennis and I, along with our families appreciate the outpouring of support we have received. We ask for privacy as we go through this very difficult time.
