This, as the saying goes, hurts.
Over the decades, Keith was a creator who I always gave a chance on whatever project he was doing - particularly if it was for DC. His influence of the whole of the DCU is, in my opinion severely undervalued.
Damn.
I have only three pieces of original comic art on my wall (I'd have more but I can't justify paying Jack Kirby or George Perez prices). Two Curt Swans (a Superman vs. Terra-Man page, and the title page for the origin of the JLA hq written by Grant Morrison), and a page from the "All this and Kobra Too" issue of DC Comics Presents. It's the one where Superman and Ambush Bug swap brains, and Ambush Bug, in a lead helmet, runs around in Superman's body yelling "I'm blind!" Pure effin' genius.
I'll pour out a Yoo-Hoo tonight in Keith's honor.
