Washington cartoonist Frank Godwin elected to Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame
Fifty years after his death, but it's the though that counts, isn't it? From their press release:
Since 1958, the Society of Illustrators has elected to its Hall of Fame artists recognized for their "distinguished achievement in the art of illustration." Artists are elected by a prestigious committee that includes former presidents of the Society and illustration historians. They are chosen based on their body of work and the impact it has made on the field of illustration. This year's honorees include contemporary illustrators Roz Chast, Vincent di Fate, and Mark Summers, as well as posthumous honorees Frank Godwin, Mary Petty, and Alice Barber Stephens. These artists join a list of the greatest names in illustration!
The Society will be honoring this year's inductees at The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Friday, June 14, 2019. Details about the event will be released in the coming months.

Third Eye Faithful, you know us: we are massive fans of superstar writer Tom King, and his work on incredible projects like BATMAN, HEROES IN CRISIS, and modern legends like VISION and OMEGA MEN — so, when we had the chance to bring Tom to Third Eye to celebrate the release of his brand new MISTER MIRACLE graphic novel; which is easily one of our favorite things Tom has done yet — we jumped at it faster than you can say mother box!
Tom's MISTER MIRACLE is the kind of story that's perfect for the collected format, and is going to be one of the biggest must-own graphic novels of 2019 — TRUST US!
If you were a huge fan of his work on VISION, and loved the cerebral storytelling (reminiscent of early Vertigo favorites like ANIMAL MAN, DOOM PATROL, and more) of VISION — then you'll fall in love with MISTER MIRACLE.
On top of that, artist MITCH GERADS is a comic storytelling genius, as he brings Tom's amazing writing to life in a truly unique, and compelling way that pulls you into the story, and does not let go.
