May he rest in peace.
He brought immeasurable joy to my life. What more can you ask of a complete stranger?
'Next time I let Superman take charge, just hit me. Real hard.'
'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'
'You know, for a guy with like 50 different kinds of vision, you sure are blind.'

He was probably the biggest influence on the look of Star Wars, and a major reason it was so successful.

tragic indeed, not unexpected, he wasn't a young man after all, but tragic loss non the less.

A true visionary who defined the look and feel of Star Wars. Thank you, Ralph.

Damnit. Rest in peace. Your artwork is a monument that will last for years to come.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
