Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! A few days ago, over on our FaceBook fan page (what? you haven't joined us on FaceBook? For shame!), Groove-ophile Burt B. mentioned that Ol' Groove had never run Ragman #3 and very politely requested that we share it here on the Diversions post-haste. Well, Burt, here 'tis! Dunno why we've never rapped about it here before. It's a goodie, with very nice Kubert-esque art by The Redondo Studio and one of those Bob Kanigher stories that hit all the high-notes: kids, kittens, and crooks with funky weapons (dig that bad-guy's wheelchair)! Here's "See No Evil!" from Ragman #3 (September 1976)!

Joe Kubert, R.I.P.
Joe Kubert passed away yesterday at the age of 85. His legacy is staggering. Besides his body of work (thousands upon thousands of pages of incredible art, creations, writing, and editing), his sons, Andy and Adam, are top-notch artists in their own right and his school has produced dozens of high-quality comicbook artists. Kubert started his career at the age of 12--and was still producing new comics til the end. (I'd already pre-ordered the first issue of Joe Kubert Presents. sigh...)
His love of the medium. His art. That's what we'll best remember him for. The power. The energy. The humanity. The sheer beauty.That's what Joe Kubert's art was all about. For example, just look at the full art he did for Ragman #5 (April 1977). Story by Robert Kanigher.
