Comic artist Irwin Hasen, who helped create one of comics’ most famous orphans, Dondi, and created the DC Comics character Wildcat, died Friday morning at the age of 96.

There’s no way to do his history and storied life justice in a fast blog post, so we’ll be providing much fuller remembrances later.

Our condolences to his family and many friends.
