Living Embodiment
prevnextKeith Giffen was the living embodiment of American comics. Equal parts energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm evident in all his work. Someone at DC once gave him my phone # in error. Though it was a wrong number, we wound up just talking comics for half an hour. Beautiful guy. pic.twitter.com/7360gqAJmV

Gutted
prevnextGutted to hear about the passing of Keith Giffen. He was so nice to me when I was starting out in comics, and I was in awe of him. He could literally do everything. The movie Guardians of the Galaxy exist because of him. Just 70. What the fuck, man. https://t.co/yTH0hCeTue

No One Better
prevnextWhen it comes to sheer creative talent and the ability to come up with great ideas, one after another, no one did it better than Keith Giffen. Working with him was one of those fun, creative roller coaster types of experiences that made any project more fun. R.I.P, my friend.

Startlingly Unique
prevnextSo sorry to hear of Keith Giffen’s passing. His art was startlingly unique but also steeped in what came before. A dynamic, fluid artist who was also a brave and fearless writer.
