Jerry Robinson, R.I.P.
Sad to see that legendary comics creator Jerry Robinson died last night. Robinson was the creator of The Joker, and was a fixture at the San Diego Comic-Con. The ranks of Golden Age creators continue to shrink; last year, for the first time in the Con’s history, Mark Evanier didn’t put together a Golden Age panel because he wasn’t able to round up enough panelists. Jerry Robinson had been in comics almost from the beginning. I’m sure there are others, but the only remaining elders I can think of are Joe Simon and Stan Lee.

Sad indeed. I believe he had a cameo in the first Batman movie, as a sketch artist who holds up his drawing of what The Dark Knight might look like.

Not bad legacy to leave.
