I remember how excited I was when the Iceman 4-parter came out in '84. I hadn't read any old X-Men at that point, but had read a little bit of The Defenders. I mostly knew him as Spider-Man's Amazing Friend.
Over the years, I went back and bought most of the Kupperberg run on Defenders, and while maybe not as "exciting" as art that came in the decade following, his work was solid and told the story well. People looked like actual people, not Liefeldian grotesqueries.
RIP.

This was on Facebook. Lots of in-jokes, but I love it.
