"Acclaimed comic book illustrator George Tuska has died of a heart attack, aged 93. The influential artist officially retired last week after almost 70 years in the business. He is best known for his work with Marvel Comics, but also enjoyed stints with DC and several other publishers. Beginning his comic book career in the 1940s, the artist has worked on several high-profile titles over the decades, including Iron Man, X-Men, Teen Titans and Justice League Of America. Tuska is also credited with developing Marvel hero Luke Cage, being the first artist to draw the character. His work has often been compared to that of iconic illustrators such as Gene Colan and Jack Kirby. He is survived by wife Dorothy, three children and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
