Goodbye, Will Elder

Posted by Vito Delsante on Thursday, May 15 2008 at 6:48 pm

This isn’t Chemistry Set related, but we would be remiss if we didn’t mark the passing of one of the true legends of the comic book industry and truly, a revolutionary in the art of making comics.  Will Elder was one of the artists who flourished in the ’50’s under Harvey Kurtzman at EC Comics.  If at this point in your life, you haven’t read an EC Comic reprint, you really are missing out on innovation…innovations we take for granted now.  I never met him, but we will all miss him.  I’ll post any further details here as they come in.  But for now, we’ll miss you, Will.

THE CHEMISTRY SET is a collective of comic creators, exploring what happens when they throw their talents together in the cause of fresh, new, unexpected work. Sometimes we get beautiful synthesis. Sometimes we get explosions. But in every case, we get new comics, delivered every day by talented up-and-coming creators, including three Xeric Award winners.


Always free, and just for you.
