Good morning friends.
Comics has suffered another tragic loss this week with the passing of Tim Sale. Best known for his work on Batman: The Long Halloween, Sale’s contribution to comics, both personally and professionally, will be remembered fondly.
It’s with a heavy sadness that I must announce that Tim Sale passed away today. He passed with the love of his life beside him, and loves all of you very much. Please share photos and stories under this post, as we hope to share them with the community.

Starting in October, I'll be living at the Tom House for three months, making new erotic art and poring through their incredible archives. It's a dream come true! I'm the luckiest girl in the world ❤️
