Today in Comics History, May 3: Happy birthday, Bill Sienkiewicz!

A very happy birthday today to one of my favorite comic artists...heck, one of my favorite artist artists, the amazing Bill Sienkiewicz!


from Marvel Age #29, 53, and 89 (Marvel, August 1985, August 1987, and May 1991); text by Jim Salicrup (#29), Mike Carlin (#53) and Chris Eliopoulis and Barry Dutter (#89); pencils and inks by Ron Zalme; colors by Paul Becton (#53) and Renee Witterstaetter (#89)

Bill has pencilled and inked hundreds of comics, including classics like The New Mutants, Moon Knight, Elektra: Assassin, and hey, the finest Pop-Tart adjecent comic book ever published, Stray Toasters!

Just rememberL Bill is the comics guy whose name you should copy and paste rather than trying to spell it out for yourself!

Happy birthday, Bill!
