We are very sad to say that today, DC Comics has lost the immensely talented and legendary artist, Steve Lightle. Lightle contributed his work to DC Comics and the industry at large, bringing his expressive and iconic style to series like Doom Patrol and Legion of Super-Heroes.
While Lightle contributed to many of DC’s titles, here are a few you can explore to honor his memory:
How did Lightle’s work impact your fandom? Have you ever run into him at a con? And if you have a favorite piece of artwork, we’d love to see it in the comments below.
I posted this a while ago and it seems appropriate to add it here. This is the plate of the LSH he contributed to the History of the DC Universe portfolio.
Once again the night sky shines a little less brightly. Another DC talent has moved on to a much bigger and better place. If I knew nothing about him, beyond his work, where and how he chose to display it, I would be the better for it. As I believe, were we all. Rest in Peace.
One of the greatest artist will be greatly missed, covered his great art in our Doom Patrol Club book club and will celebrate him greatly and may he rest in peace :robotman_dp:
He worked on a lot of my favorites coming up and is forever intertwined with my love and appreciation for art and expression. Here is to a lifetime of memories, warmth, and kindness.
I worked with Steve a few times many years ago. Very nice guy and s great talent. Here’s something he did for me forever ago. How many of you are old enough to remember pogs?!
