| For me, Norm Breyfogle was all about Batman. Very dynamic compositions. He'll be missed. RIP, Norm. | ||

| When I started reading Batman in the late 80s he was the artist on Detective. So seeing his art always brought back fond memories of those days. I sold most of my defectives from that time, but could not part with some of my fav Breyfogle issues. RIP. |

| @GAC Norm was definitely too young. At least we gave us great work to remember him by. |

I met him a few years back at a comiccon. I bought my first piece of original art from him and a cool Batman print that he signed too. He will be missed.   |

Here is his work on display last year in the library at WCC. I was asked to do a comic book and comic artwork display from the library director after she found out that it was my hobby. We were in some faculty training sessions together. It was a lot of fun to do.  |

| I'm not going to have a debate on this thread about the current state of American health care. This is a memorial post about a comic book artist. If you want to discuss healthcare policies, start a new thread. Show some respect for the man. | ||

| I'm extremely saddened by this news. From the first time I saw his work Norm has always been one of my favorite artists to work on Batman (or anything else for that matter). | ||

| This was really sad news. I was wondering the other day what he was up to since i knew about his stroke and hadn't seen any update or anything from him in a long time. Easily my favorite Batman artist. Here's some art - I've posted these before except for the Hellcat piece.      |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O I agree completely. I guess I missed what was posted (and subsequently deleted) but I feel it an appropriate reminder that the Hero Initiative is there to help struggling artists in situations such those that Norm found himself in after being able to find regular work. In fact, after Norm's stroke in 2014, Hero Initiative and fans helped him to meet his crowdfunding goals. To make donations visit: https://www.heroinitiative.org/ |

Here's some of Norm's early work. This is from American Flagg #37 from Feb, 1987. I was into the series back then and Norm did a number of backup stories for the series. They featured a hologram named Bob Violence. Here are two pages from it. I don't know why, but his drawings spoke to me. Every panel seemed to come to life.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O Well..to be fair though it is probably best to leave politics out of a post relating to a persons death...not sure what the appropriate time would be... Maybe start a tread about Messner-Loebs and all the troubles he faces due to bills for his wife and being homeless now etc. - someone we can still help by donating to Hero or more directly through his gofundme page ( I don't know how to post links). Then you could have at 'er....complain about the system and maybe help a brother out? |

| We did a nice tribute to Norm on the podcast yesterday, covering his history and how his work impacted each of us. I got some messages afterwards saying it was great and a good education on some of his work that they didn't know about! | ||

| I'm pretty sure I saw Norm in person, but I never actively collected anything he's worked on. The comic I most associate him with is Prime. The mods are doing good to keep the thread on topic and show respect to the man's legacy.  |

| @Jesse_O Can we not agree that speech is necessary for democracy. Governments/ Moderators ought not to abridge free speech. Censors must show how the speech in question poses a genuine danger if they are to censor it. In the case of hate speech, has any such menace been shown in any of my posts? Just because we are comic geeks should we not have opinions outside the hobby? Should we not be able to espouse those opinions that fall outside the narrow remit of what you deem acceptable? I think that the members of this site should be able to discuss wider issues other than comic related issues, are we all not adults? Have you ever been to a comic mart and stood up and said "OK you lot, it has been brought to my attention that some of you are talking about sport or girls and this must cease immediately"? |
