Norm Breyfogle was an outstanding artist. I've often wondered why he didn't draw more comics.

He was a master craftsman, but never a superficially flashy mainstream guy. Wizard never pushed him, so he got replaced by other, more popular artists.
And then he had a stroke in 2014.

I still kind of miss them though I don't think I every technically subscribed. It was so cool back in the day to have a whole, regularly printed magazine talk about comics seriously.

I agree. I used to buy and collect Wizard Magazine every month from 1998 through to when it ended in 2011. I learned a lot about the comic book industry from them. Every month they had great covers drawn by different comic book artists who were popular at the time. I'm curious to know how they feel about the comic book industry currently.

A lot of the editorial staff works for DC these days. Which explains a lot when you flip through free magazines like DC Nation.

Loved his work. I used to watch his Christmas special every year (taped off tv--gotta get the DVD some day).
