You bestowed your supreme talent upon the biggest and the best, including Captain America; Captain Britain; Spider-man; the Incredible Hulk; Kid Colt; the Rawhide Kid; and Sgt Fury and the Howling Commandos, with whom you had a long and respected relationship.
However, your fiery style hit a innovative high when you teamed with childhood friend, Roy Thomas and Marvel legend, Mike Ploog to revamp an established hero, thus creating Johnny Blaze, aka the Ghost Rider. In the same vein, your radical Daimon Hellstrom, the Son of Satan (with help from artist Herb Trimpe) also redefined the annals of right and wrong, depicting a young man you dared defy his father to pave the way for good.
The '70s comic-book scene was never quite the same thereafter, exuding a hot, new, cool vibe that both superhero and supernatural connoisseurs savored. In fact, your work on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Monster still remains a huge fan favorite.
Your legion of admirers will be forever grateful for your bold and insightful designs. May you roar through the mighty Gates of Heaven, skidding its illustrious streets with your righteous streams of glory.
