No! I used to see Dick and his wife at all the NY shows I did in the 90s and he lived near me in NY. A really nice man. My comics partner and I always talked to him, what a sweet guy as well as one of the great inkers of all time.
RIP.

I enjoyed Dick's work on Freedom Fighters in the 70's. While Jack Abel could be an overpowering inker, I thought he complemented Dick's pencils really well. The one issue inked by "Christian Volt" (looked like Alcala or another Filipino inker - very dark inking for a superhero book in those days) was enlightening, because I got to figure out his art style better.

I got to meet him once or twice at conventions, and he seemed like the nice kind of guy that you'd want drawing your childhood comic books. (Not all of them are, you know. :wink: )

I loved that Red Circel stuff...so much potential there. Fun easy reading, that stuff was.

Yeah, me too. Cool heroes. A bit disorganized but I really enjoyed them. Toth's Fox backups in Black Hood were amazing and The Fly had a lot to do with me falling in love with Steve Ditko's artwork.
