RIP JIRO KUWATA...

You were a manga-man supreme: co-creator of the mighty 8 Man and the mastermind behind "Kaiki Seidan" ("The Strange Star Cluster"); Maboroshi Tantei (The Phantom Detective); Maboroshi Samurai (The Phantom Samurai); Choken Ripu (Leap the Super-Dog); Gekko Kamen (Moonlight Mask); Kingu Robot (King Robot); Kiiroi Tebukuro Ekkusu (Yellow Glove X); and Denjin Ekkusuman (Electroid X-Man).  


And as a comic-book adapter, you made the special likes of "The Invaders", "The Time Tunnel"; "Ultraseven" and Batman your very own. 


In each and every instance, your contributions emerged as colorful, dazzling and incomparable. That makes you one of the greatest of the greats. Thanks for all the heroic imagery and epic landscapes you wove throughout our lives. Your euphoric blend of wonderment has always been and will always be the best kind.
