Special to Newsday

Artist Stan Goldberg, a linchpin of Marvel Comics rise in


the 1960s and a stalwart of Archie Comics for 40 years, died
Sunday at Calvary Hospital in
the Bronx following a stroke
on Aug. 13. He was 82, and had
homes in Hampton Bays and
Queens.
A 2011 inductee into the National Cartoonists Society Hall
of Fame, Goldberg in the early
1960s was the colorist responsible for designing the costume colors of such new Marvel superheroes as SpiderMan and the Fantastic Four.
He spent years drawing the
humorous adventures of Marvels Millie the Model, and went
on to bring his comedic sensibilities to a host of Archie Comics
series, serving for a decade
through 2006 as primary artist
of the flagship title, Archie.
Goldbergs final work, in a
uniquely appropriate amalgam, may be an Archie-style
Spider-Man story, That Parker Boy, for the upcoming
comic Marvels 75th Anniversary Special.
It was an honor to work
with him, said Jim Salicrup,
editor-in-chief of the comics
publisher Papercutz, for which
Goldberg recently did licensed-character titles starring Nancy Drew and The
Three Stooges. We publish
graphic novels for all ages, and

Stan Goldberg spent four decades as an Archie Comics colorist


after designing costume colors for Marvel Comics heroes.
his artwork and clear storytelling were absolutely ideal for
what we do.
Born in New York City on
May 5, 1932, Goldberg was still
in his teens when he became a
staff colorist for Marvels predecessor, Timely Comics, in
1949. He became the coloring
department manager as Timely segued into its 1950s iteration, Atlas Comics.
Goldberg also was drawing

horror comics for the company


as early as 1952, and succeeded
Dan DeCarlo on the popular
Millie the Model in 1959.
By then he had become a
freelancer, and in that capacity
worked as acolorist for the
fledgling Marvel Comics. Collaborating with editor and head
writer Stan Lee on the earliest
stories of Spider-Man, the Hulk,
the X-Men, the Fantastic Four
and other heroes, I was creat-

ing the color schemes on all


those characters, he said in a
2005 interview.
At the end of the 1960s, Goldberg briefly drew teen-humor
titles for DC Comics and then
settled into a four-decade run
at Archie Comics. One of his favorite jobs was a 1994 Marvel/Archie joint production in
which Riverdale High teen Archie Andrews crossed paths
with Marvels remorseless vigilante, the Punisher.
After 2010, when work became scarce at Archie, he drew
for Bongo Comics Simpsons
Comics, Papercutz and others,
including an anti-bullying educational comic for the organization Rise Above Social Issues.
My dad was an amazing father to both my brother Bennett
and me, said his son Stephen,
an advertising agency media director. He always took great interest in whatever was going on
in our lives. He was also a doting grandfather who just
adored his four grandchildren.
He was married to my mom for
a truly loving 53 years that was
evident by them still holding
hands wherever they went.
In addition to his sons, he is
survived by his wife, Pauline
Mirsky Goldberg. The couples
daughter, Heidi, was slain in
1984 at age 19 at the College at
Old Westbury. A Syosset man
was convicted of the murder.
A graveside service will be
held today at Beth Moses Cemetery in West Babylon.

Carcelle became head of the


luxury goods brand in 1990,
stepping down in 2012.

Ex-Ranger defenseman Carol Vadnais, 68


Former NHL defenseman
Carol Vadnais, a six-time allstar, has died. He was 68.
The New York Rangers reported on their website that
Vadnais, who spent seven seasons with the team, died Sunday. No cause of death was
given.
Vadnais made his NHL
debut in 1966-67 with his
hometown Montreal Canadiens and played 17 NHL seasons, winning Stanley Cups in
1968 with Montreal and 1972
with Boston. He also played
for the California Golden Seals
and the New Jersey Devils.

587 points in 1,087 games. He
appeared in 106 playoff games

with 10 goals and 40 assists.


The Rangers acquired Vadnais along with Phil Esposito in
1975 in one of the biggest trades
in NHL history. New York sent
Brad Park, Jean Ratelle and Joe
Zanussi to the Bruins. Vadnais
twice made the All-Star game
while a Ranger.
Vadnais is survived by his
daughter, Michele, and two

Carol Vadnais (10), who spent seven seasons with the Rangers,
and Bobby Clarke in the 1975 All-Star game in Montreal.

Yves Carcelle, the former


chief executive who turned
Louis Vuitton into the worlds
largest and most valuable luxury brand, has died. He was 66.
Carcelle died Sunday following a long illness, Paris-based
LVMH Mot Hennessy Louis
Vuitton SA, which owns Vuitton,
said yesterday in a statement. He
was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year and died in Paris,
Womens Wear Daily reported.
Carcelle, who spent much of
his career traveling the world
looking for the next Vuitton outpost, became head of the brand
in 1990, a year after joining
LVMH, and set about transforming the trunk maker into LVMHs
biggest and most profitable label.
He hired Marc Jacobs as artistic
director in 1997 and expanded
Vuitton into ready-to-wear and,
more recently, fine jewelry,
while opening shops from Las
Vegas to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
A tireless traveler, Yves was
a pioneer who embodied the
image and values of Louis Vuitton, LVMH chairman and CEO
Bernard Arnault said in the statement. Always curious, passionate and in motion, he was one of
the most inspiring leaders of
men and women I have ever had
the privilege of knowing.
Carcelle stood down as CEO of
the label in 2012 and became vice
president of Foundation Louis
Vuitton, a Frank Gehry-designed
art museum set to open outside
Paris in October. He remained on
LVMHs executive committee
and as an adviser to Arnault.
He is survived by his wife
Rebecca and their two sons as
well as three children from a previous marriage, according to
Womens Wear Daily.
