Thanks for the enjoyment you brought to countless fans over the years, Mike--you'll be missed.
An Andru-Esposito favorite of mine was the Kanigher-scripted series "Rose and the Thorn", the back-up feature in Lois Lane for a while starting in 1970. Esposito has said he and Ross Andru envisioned the Thorn as a cross between Wonder Woman and Black Canary.

And let's not forget that Esposito was John Buscema's inker on the epochal Avengers #60, the wedding of Janet Van Dyne and Hank Pym.

I met Mike many years ago at a Marvel event and he was really nice. All the old pros are passing away and he'll be missed.
Hi Don, thanks for stopping by!
I never had the pleasure of meeting Mike Esposito but I from what I've read (and heard) he was a great guy. As you said, he'll be missed.
Has it really been a year? More posts!
