    I was going to make a Superman photoshop, but it crashed on me AGAIN. (Those of you on Kotakuites should know my aggrieves with CS4 already...)

    Anyways, rest easy, big fella, and hopefully you don't go into remake hell and instead go into Superhero Retirement. Rest in peace, Shel.

    P.S. Shel Dorf is the person on the right.

    @Two Flush Dump: If the title said "Comic-Con Founder Has Died of Dysentery", then yeah that would have been killer. I mean, that would have killed it!

    Not just the cover art, but that art was embodied in the main menu of the game.

    His legacy will live on embodied in a game that is eternal in the minds and hearts of gamers for popularizing the deathmatch. Without him, as well as the crew at id, gaming would not be the same today. R.I.P. #doom

    funnily enough, i bought a Doom poster, just like the box art about 2 weeks ago and the boxartist dies, in a way, the poster on my wall is not only a amazing piece of art to look at but in a way it is like memorabilia now since Punchatz has passed away...Doom box art is legendary, just like cornunderscore2x says :)

    He accepted his (already cut-down) fee when the game became a hit? I salute you, and hope you are shooting demons from Mars in heaven. #doom
