I apologize for the belated post. It saddens me that longtime Batman artist and both Joker and Robin creator Jerry Robinson passed from this earth at age 89 in New York on December 7th. I met Mr. Robinson at his lecture in Greenwich, Connecticut at the Museum for Cartoon Art in the 1980s. He was gracious, humble, charming and a great guy. You would never realize his genius as he did not come off in that way.
There is no debate that the Joker is the seminal villian in both comics and literature. All of us who avidly read and write horror and adventure are vastly indebted to Jerry for his work and his creation.
Rest in Peace Mr. Robinson. All of us feel your loss now and for time to come which is why we should celebrate your brilliance today and each day we view your work.
