Ron Cobb RIP

 Ron Cobb RIP
September 21, 1937 - September 21, 2020

Ron Cobb, cartoonist, artist, and designer, passed away at age 83 on September 21.

Back in the early 80s I was fortunate to obtain a copy of the 1981 trade paperback 'Colorvision', which showcased Cobb's work. My overview of the book is available here. Given that used copies of 'Colorvision' have exorbitant asking prices, the time would seem to be right for a new printing to be issued.

One of the paintings featured in 'Colorvision', 'Autumn Angels', for the cover of the 1975 novel by Arthur Byron Cover, is a favorite of mine and one I always post, year after year, during the Fall months.

Other works featured in 'Colorvision' also demonstrate Cobb's genius for composition and color. If you should happen to see a copy of the book on a shelf in a used bookstore, by all means grab it !

RIP Ron Cob,, 1937 - 2020.
