Massive icons like Aretha Franklin or Donna Summer will certainly continue to get their own threads when they pass, but I figured it might be worth having a place to honor lesser-known celebrities who have left us, especially because we can’t see status updates (which is where a lot of those announcements were made on here previously).
 

But the great actor Ian Holm has died at 88:

Oh, he did a great job. And he was in so much other excellent stuff.

Just a week after Neal Adams death. George Pérez dies of pancreatic cancer. I love his artwork. One of my favorite pieces was a pin up of Teen Titans and Teen Titans West. Which appeared in The New Teen Titans #47 Sept,1988. Which was commissioned because the issue was a page short. In those pre internet days. I had no idea who many of those obscure characters were. Until i tracked down that mid 70's run. #RIP

I can't imagine my comics experience without reading George's  work on Teen Titans and  in Crisis. Supergirl's death in particular is  superbly  drawn and cuts right to the bone, then and now. 

 

Awwww..Mickey...this song was my favorite of his and brings memories of 5th grade😊

Wow how did I miss him?

So many greats are gone.

I'm always amazed by the fact that Mickey Gilley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart were cousins and played piano together as children.

RIP Mr. Gilley.

I wonder who could portray her in the movie?  Marisa Tomei?
