More tributes followed, including one from DC Publisher Jim Lee who said, “He always impressed me with the amazing energy and fluidity of his figurework, the grace of his lines and the power of his compositions. My condolences first and foremost to his widowed wife and daughter, his many peers who admired and respected his talent, and the countless fans around the world who loved and cherished his art.”
Many more followed with associate editor Andrea Shea adding, “Robson Rocha was a brilliant artist, a kind man, and a loving husband and father. He was so incredibly loved and will be deeply missed.” Kelly Sue DeConnick, who worked on the Aquaman series that Rocha sketched, said “I’m still processing all this, I guess, so I don’t have much to say. Trying to figure out what to do, how best to support his family.”
Jessica Chen, comic editor shared, “Robson Rocha had the incredible talent of using his art to express ideas that were trapped between script & words. We both loved horror & snuck that in our projects. My heart is broken & still refuses to believe he is gone now. Comics has lost a great artist & even better friend.”
