R.I.P. Nick Cardy (1920-2013)

Sadly, legendary comic book artist Nick Cardy passed away on Nov. 3, 2013, he had just turned 93 on Oct. 20.I'm a huge fan of the 1970's DC Horror line, many of which Cardy drew interior stories and covers for. I always loved how he drew children and women, kind of had a Jack Kamen, Johnny Craig style about them. His work is timeless and will never be forgotten. Here's a few covers of his that I scanned from my collection...
