Not that we shouldn't be sad at Al Plastino's passing, but it's probably a sadness just for ourselves. Another piece of our childhoods is no longer with us in quite the same way and, I've seen reported, he was the last great living Golden Age comics artist. But, wow, what a great career and for that matter, life! He was successful by his own efforts in several areas of the art world. I believe his Supergirl will be considered the definitive one for many years if not forever. To top off being an incredible talent, by all accounts he was an incredible human being. Sure, we're sad, but well done, Mr. Plastino!
