Here's part 2 of my look back at folks from the world of comic books and comic strips that died in 2012. Here is a link to Part One. I didn't try to be comprehensive, but I wanted to provide some career highlights. I may have gone overboard on Joe Kubert, but only because I loved his work so. If there's someone missing, it's probably because I couldn't find decent enough pictures. If you'd like somebody added, please let me know.
