    Dang. I've enjoyed pretty much everything with his byline on it.

    And he's another creator who is older than I thought. What we're losing these days seem to be creators in their 70s. (Or Neal Adams, who made it to 80.) His contemporaries in the '80s British invasion -- Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Garth Ennis, Dave Gibbons, Mark Millar and Grant Morrison -- are all kicking, thank Odin, and makes me wonder if they're younger. Not Steve Dillon, sadly.

    Since you asked:

    Alan Moore: 68

    Neil Gaiman: 61

    Garth Ennis: 52

    Dave Gibbons: 73

    Mark Millar: 52

    Grant Morrison: 62

    Good grief. I’m older than all but 2 of those guys.

    I always liked Alan Grant, I don't think he ever produced something I didn't lile.

    I often forget how old some of the creators are getting, but you know the 80s are getting to be 40 years ago now.

    Me, too! But in my case only Dave Gibbons has me beat.

    We're the fans! We're supposed to be younger than our idols!

    I feel as though we went from "all the Golden Age guys are going", skipped the Silver Age guys and went straight to the Bronze Age guys.

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm younger than all but two of these guys.

  • Jeff of Earth-J July 24, 2022 at 9:52am

    Me, too!

    I topped Dave Gibbons by a year last month. Does it bother me? Not really.
