R.I.P. Batton Lash
Was very disheartened to hear of the passing of Batton Lash today. My energy goes out to his longtime companion and co-publisher Jackie Estrada. Batton was the long time cartoonist and writer of Wolff & Byrd, Supernatural Law. He also wrote for Bongo Comics as well as did work elsewhere.
I didn’t want to make an official post till I was able to share something personal so that it wasn’t just a proper respectful understanding and love. Here is a piece Batton did for me many years ago of Wolff meeting my character Zemo.
