Bob Oksner died. Here's Mark Evanier's obit. I hadn't realized he was 90. Wow. I mostly knew his work from the '70s, specifically on Supergirl, inking Carmine Infantino. The above is from Supergirl 1.
While I'm at it, here Infantino and Oksner show off Kara's new costume in SG 13. Superman is underwhelmed. The best he can call it is "something." It happens to be probably my favorite SG costume, though I very much like the one above it, with the V-neck tunic. I just don't like the sleeves ont hat thing. The spandex sleeves are more flattering to Kara. And for anyone worried the skirt's too short, she's wearing tasteful blue panties underneath.
Gee, her adoptive dad hardly recognizes her in her new costume. Then again, he's a bit beefed up since his last artist, so I'm amazed she recognizes him.Carmine Infantino had some wonderful inkers over the years, but Oksner over his pencils was a good fit for Supergirl. Bob Oskner was one of the good ones.
