I only just learned about Jeffrey’s passing. We got to know each other quite well, and I’d followed his struggle with lupus. What a lovely man, and what a great artist. I suspect his artistic legacy will grow as the years pass.

Chris, thanks for sharing your Neanderthals story. I love wordless/silent comics. From Larry Hama's famous G.I. Joe issue to Grendel #9 with the fantastic Pander Brothers art, and so many more. One of my favorite collaborations ever was on a silent mini-comic with my artist friend Matt Kish, which led me to do another one with him years later called "Green to Green." I've made it available on my Medium page; if you're interested in checking it out, here's the link:

Well, that's cool! I love silent issues, and as a writing challenge, it's highly recommended. The common wisdom is that comic book art should be clear enough to convey the story even without any words, so that was certainly my aim (granted, the heavy lift on that by far falls to the artist, not to the writer).
