Marshall Rogers is dead

[Binker]

Comics have lost another luminary. Details are still sketchy, but word came earlier today that Marshall Rogers died yesterday or Saturday. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

Rogers was born on January 22nd, 1950 in Flushing, New Jersey. He was 57.

He is well known to have worked with Steve Englehart, who together worked on Detective Comics #471-#476, and for years, their version of Batman was considered to be the definitive one – a dark, brooding hero who stayed to the shadows and flowed with a natural grace.

That's too bad I always liked his work. He did some really great Dr. Strange stuff.

Woah. He just finished up a mini series a year or two back. He was a great, great artist and will be sorely missed.

Was surprised when first hearing about this...Terrible news, and a real shame. Rogers was really one of the definitive Batman artists of all time. His work in the 70's with both Austen and Englehart on Detective Comics was brilliant, and unforgettable. He'll be truly missed.
