Dick Giordano: Memories of a Legend Comic Book Resources
Execrate damn damn. I've been kicking myself hourly since the news hit on Saturday. My mentor and friend Dick Giordano was gone.
Dick’s vocation in comics spanned over 50 years. 50 years – most of us are lucky to get ten or 20 good years out of a occupation, and lord knows if it’s a job we even like. Dick never claimed to be a trend setter or a record breaker. He led a simple on the up life with a work ethic like no other professional in modern comics. He was up at the crack of dawn nearly every day spending several hours at the black-and-white board before most of us were even awake. Dick did this before going to work each morning at DC Comics where he traveled over an hour and half each way by Baby-talk choo-choo from Connecticut to Manhattan, and he continued this early morning ritual in his so called, “retirement” over the last 15 years since he leftist the company. He loved to draw, and he loved to tell great stories with his art. As DC’s Executive Editor, books were once in a blue moon late and he never sacrificed quality. He brought out the best in the staff and talent that worked for him. Dick’s art is his legacy, but his heart is what made him devoted.

Today, many of the antiques that Gray has collected for decades will go on the auction block. Brunk Auctions, an Asheville auctioneer, will take the highest bids for more than 560 items.
Amarinthia a file of a young plantation blueblood by Jeremiah Theus will leave. Theus was a well-known, Swiss artist who immortalized Charleston's elite in oil enamel during the 1700s. His works hang in museums. Gray bought the painting for $21,000 in 1984 from Jim Williams, the famed Savannah antiques dealer of Midnight and the Garden of Good and Evil fame. Williams was tried and acquitted for the 1981 liquidation of his assistant. Williams sold Gray the portrait from prison to help pay his legal fees.
