Remembering Darwyn – #RIPDarwynCooke
Darwyn Cooke, November 16th, 1962 – May 14th, 2016. He died three years ago today. And last night (while I was asleep) his friend and colleague Frank Tieri took a private tradition public. He tweeted out
I'll be raising a glass 🥃 to the guy tonight at midnight & posting it as it's become sort of a tradition between myself & his close friends to do so on the anniversary of his passing. Whether you knew him or if you were just a fan you're welcome to do the same #RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/Ah8r7zkYl2

And it just kept on going and growing.
Raising a glass to Darwyn tonight as a friend and a fan. If you knew him or if you were touched by his work, I encourage you to do the same. I think of him every time I put pen to paper, and I miss him at every con I do. There will never be another like him. #RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/QE2pc3Ya7o

Three goddamn years. I'm not near a bottle or I would join my friends in a toast to this glorious person at midnight (New York time, of course). I love you, brother.#RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/dHwhPYkGav

Great seeing so much Darwyn Cooke art in remembrance of the third anniversary of his passing. He was on my mind today during a pitch for a special project that was first born during an NYCC dinner we shared. #RIPDARWYNCOOKE In other words, is Darwyn well-missed? pic.twitter.com/jJdte7zfeP

One of the greatest. I only got to meet him a few times, but I always walked away with a lesson or a story to tell. It's hard to describe how much I admired and looked up to him. Cheers to you, Darwyn. #RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/AIkApPBYxP

As bright and glorious as his superhero work could be, Darwyn Cooke understood the morbid appeal of Film Noir. And dammit, you won't ever find a better adaptation of Richard Stark's Parker. #RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/ZOW6GgFu4I

Here's a glimpse of an original Darwyn Cooke page on the anniversary of his death. If you like his work, you're several giant footsteps closer to being my friend. This one is framed in my wife's study. #RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/Y0Bjy2B5SH

There was so much. So much, so much had to be left out. Small bits like the 1954 LOOK magazine covers of Gina Lollobrigida that inspired the look of Catwoman/Selina Kyle. #RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/NpyMS4gPpj

Ending the day with a glass of scotch for Darwyn Cooke, whose death this night 3 years ago went through TCAF like a sick tidal wave. The industry and the art form are worse for his passing. Much love to @Nicest_Girl_Evr & everybody else missing a friend tonight. #RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/TJfVUOHVhe

I don't drink or smoke anymore. I'm pretty sure Dar would somehow simultaneously give me shit and tell me "good work, kid." The world remains considerably darker without him in it. #RIPDarwynCooke

Today we remember Darwyn Cooke, who sadly passed away three years ago. Darwyn was one of the greatest to ever tell a tale. Here are a few favorites from us, but we could present any of his wonderful pieces and hold them in a gallery. Thank you for everything. #RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/YAGbHyZ5Jk

And the man who kicked it all off and got it trending…
Moscow Mule in a stolen copper mug. Somehow I think the man would approve. Miss ya every day, brother #RIPDARWYNCOOKE pic.twitter.com/bseQzuBnGE

And you know how much I loved him and you, Marsha. Really wish he was still here to share the drink with us, the bastard #RIPDARWYNCOOKE https://t.co/K9Fag5YTtd

We join the comics community in raising a glass to the memory of Darwyn Cooke. And then pouring it over the head of Axel Alonso…. well, it's traditional now, isn't it?
