buddy, Al Rio took his own life some years ago
he has been one of the best pencillers ever , his pictures and drawings exude sensuality, joy and liveliness.
All the girls in his pages are eye candies
I can't forget his contribution to Gen 13 and other Image comics
R.I.P.

I've been a fan of Rio's since the mid 90's. His style is wonderful.
I just wasn't aware he died.
I know Stormwatch's Scott Clark died years back & Fathom's Michael Turner did too.
I totally agree that Rio's early work for Image was outstanding and his most memorable.
Some of my favorite covers from Rio...

I adore Al Rio, his drawing style is the closest to the drawing style of J. Scott Campbell, but even more "sexy"
among many other features, Al Rio was "
one of us"; he illustrated a well known clothes stealing scene ( Gen13 #25)
apparently Al Rio committed suicide by hanging himself, back in 2012
I said a little prayer for him
