13 COVERS: A KEITH GIFFEN Birthday Tribute

The late, iconoclastic creator was born 72 years ago, on Nov. 30, 1952…

 

Keith Giffen was one of comics’ most respected creators, with a career that began in the Bronze Age and spanned into the 21st century (not to mention the 30th).

Dick Giordano inks

Carlos Garzon inks

Ty Templeton inks

Dave Hunt inks
