The successful Golden and Silver Age artist George Tuska has died at age 93. Tuska’s career spanned from the early days of the Chesler studio to the 199os “World’s Greatest Heroes” comic strip. He may be best-known for his work on “Iron Man.” Both The Beat and the Comics Reporter have writeups on his career.
