This last week has been really hard. I had to travel to Kentucky to attend a funeral for my wife’s grandfather and the morning after we laid him to rest, I heard the news that Darwyn Cooke had passed away. He was one of my all-time favorite comic book creators. I also had the unique opportunity to do an in-depth interview with him about his life and his work for The Comics Journal in 2007. The Journal has re-posted our 40+ page interview. They also asked me to write a eulogy for Darwyn. I did my best to do him justice. I’m very much going to miss him, but I’m glad his work will always be in the world.
