Anthony Tollin, via SFScope friend Andrew Porter, tells us that comic artist “Adrienne Roy lost a year-long battle with ovarian cancer Tuesday in her Austin, Texas, home. Her colorful storytelling was a fixture for more than two decades in DC Comic’s top-selling titles. Adrienne is best remembered for her 189-issue run on Batman, her 16-year, 202-issue reign on Detective Comics and her 14-year run on Marv Wolfman and George Peréz’s New Teen Titans, though she also had substantial runs on Superman and most of DC’s best-selling titles. She exemplified the story-based coloring of that era of DC Comics, and always tried to tell the story with color, focusing attention where it should be and building the mood and drama of the story through her color choices. She lovingly produced more than 50,000 pages of color art during her amazing career. She attended a number of Pulpcons, loved pulp art, was a friend of Walter and Litzka Gibson, co-colored DC’s Doc Savage comic series circa 1990, and assisted me on The Shadow Strikes and more recently as a part-time employee at Sanctum Books. It was the great joy of my life to spend a quarter century in partnership with Adrienne, as marriage partners, co-parents of our wonderful daughter Katrina, and artistic collaborators.
