The outpouring of affection for the just deceased comics artist George Tuska would have no doubt surprised even him. The blogosphere is abuzz with his stories and stories of him. Here are a few nice tributes.

News of George Tuska’s retirement from even commission work came just a week or so ago and it originally broke through 20TH CENTURY DANNY BOY. As might be expected, then, that site has a nice tribute to the artist.

George’s longtime home, Marvel, presented THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN RIDES AGAIN in their SUPERNATURAL THRILLERS series of the early seventies. With art by George and Jack Abel, you can read it again here:

Mr Tuska, I hope when you were alive that you had at least some idea of just how much your work has been and continues to be appreciated. Rest in Peace.
