I heard the news Friday that Artist/Writer Matt Howarth passed. I discovered his work in the 80s with "Those Annoying Post Bros" and even tho I never picked up a lot of his work, his B&W work made a big impression on me and my developing art style. I studied the issues I DID find ad nauseam. Loved his intricate cross-hatching and definitive bold vs. thin simple inking styles. Definitely styles I incorporated into my own, a major influence 4 sure. He was one of the main artists that had me preferring the B&W page over color๐
