Such fond memories of his artwork on GHOST RIDER and DEFENDERS. Very sad to hear, but 94 is a good run!!

Saddened to hear of this. The word “underrated” is tossed around too much these days, but Don definitely was.

Sad news. :^(
I especially enjoyed his work where he (or he and his brother) also did the inking. I ran into some old Charlton stuff I'd never known about before and it was pretty cool too.

Sad.
I loved his Ghost Rider run, which seemed to operate apart from much of the Marvel Universe. He had a real 'old-school' style which I liked.

my youth, especially Defenders.

Absolutely loved his Valiant work. When artists like him left, everything special about that line left with them.

I met him when I went to Valiant to do an interview-- he was a really nice guy. Very sad to hear of his passing. He gave the comics world a tremendous body of work.
