The world of comics lost another of its legends today. Joe Kubert is famed for drawing HAWKMAN and the best war comics at DC, such as SGT. ROCK and ENEMY ACE. He also had a passion for teaching and founded the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, whose alumni include some of the top comic book artists of today.
My own familiarity with Kubert is glancing, but Mark Evanier has a brief rememberence of him over at his blog: Joe Kubert: RIP
