Kim Thompson, Co-Publisher of Fantagraphics and one of the most important editors in the comics industry over the last 30 years, passed away this morning due to complications from lung cancer. He was 57 years old. Over a career that spanned more than three decades, Thompson edited talent such as Chris Ware, Peter Bagge, Stan Sakai and Joe Sacco, and introduced the work of many legendary European cartoonists to the North American audience.

Oh damn.
Huge, huge, huge respect from over here.
From my first copies of Love and Rockets, Lloyd Llewellyn and Neat Stuff that I bought from Shadowfax comics back in 80’s Winnipeg when I was 14, leading all the way to having two of my visual pieces published in The Last VISPO Anthology last year, here’s a big heartfelt thank you for your contribution to visual literacy and the culture-at-large.
Well-played Mr. Antonellis. Well-played.
Mama always said you’d be the chosen one.
