From his official Facebook page:

Quote:
It with great sorrow that we must announce the passing of Joltin’ Joe Sinnott on June 25th at 8:40am at the age of 93. He went peacefully with the knowledge that his family, friends, and fans adored him. He enjoyed life and was drawing up until the end. He always loved hearing from all of you and having your comments read to him. Each and every one of you were special to him.

The Sinnott family requests their privacy and understanding during this difficult time. Please send condolences to:

The Sinnott Family
27 Spaulding Lane
Saugerties, NY 12477

Thank you again for being such loyal and dedicated fans and friends to Joe. He considered all fans friends, and seeing you at cons and reading your messages was what kept him young at heart.

RIP Joe Sinnott

He's most remembered for this work with Jack Kirby, but before we get to all that, I think he should be a remembered as a great inker overall who looked great on a large variety of pencillers.

Looking at those pieces he inked, it's clear a lot of the look of Bronze Age Marvel came directly from his inking (and Romita, who had a similar "fat line" inking style).

Yes, he was very influential. IIRC he was even mentioned in Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics.

One of the last living links to a whole period in comics. RIP.

The only other guy I can think of who's still alive is John Romita and perhaps Sal Buscema, though he may be considered more of a "next generation" Marvel guy along with Jim Starlin and Barry Smith..

You bet, glad you enjoyed it. I look at that stuff and it just feels like quintessential Bronze Age.

Man. This is tough. Joe Sinnott inked Rich Buckler on the cover of Fantastic Worlds #2 of my characters, Captain Courage and Johnny Halo. As good as he was as an artist, Joe Sinnott was just as good a man.
