"Nick Cardy has died at the age of 93. The legendary comics artist was known for his work in comics throughout the &amp;#039;50s, &amp;#039;60s and &amp;#039;70s.  Born Nicholas Viscardi in 1920, he began working for Eisner and Iger Studio in 1939 before being drafted to fight in World War II. He served as an assistant tank driver and received two Purple Hearts during his service. He later worked on the initial 43 issues of DC Comics&amp;#039; first Teen Titans series, sometimes as penciller, sometimes as inker or both. The run lasted from 1966 to 1973. Cardy also drew the first 39 issues of the debut Aquaman solo series. He drew all seven issues of Bat Lash, as well as writing two, and provided numerous covers for Action Comics, Batman and Justice League of America. In the &amp;#039;70s, Cardy transitioned into commercial illustration. His work featured on advertisements for The Street Fighter and Apocalypse Now. He was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2005.  RIP Nick Cardy, a great man, a good soul, and a breathtaking artist.
