It is with a heavy heart that I report that Canadian cartoonist Darwyn Cooke has passed, less than a day after the world learned that he was battling aggressive cancer and had been moved to palliative care. Social media was flooded Friday with condolences and appreciations for the man and his art. The Joe Shuster Awards would like to extend our condolences to his wife Marsha, his brother Dennis, extended family and friends.

So sad :'(
such a tragic loss to the art community. my condolences to his friends and family. suck it, cancer!
So sad. I met him a couple times at megacon, always happy to sign a comic or two and say hello to fans. Really great guy.
Such a great style too. His stuff seemed modern and timeless all at the same time. His two tone work is stellar. Great drawing ability and a gift for sequential storytelling. One of the greats.
