It sounds like they're saying if we tax them then there will be fewer billionaires, and... yeah, that sounds pretty great actually.

I got to work with Nick Cardy on a cover for the collected edition of the Bat Lash series I got to edit. It was one of Nick's last covers, probably, and also one of John Severin's last jobs (he did the interiors and oh my god, what a storyteller). Everyone on the series was a delight to work with.

Nick was particularly friendly and probably a little lonely. After the cover was done, he'd still call me up at times just to chat. He was sharp and funny and upbeat and just wanted to talk with a nice young lady, I'm sure. (He also would call Trish Mulvihill whose work he really admired.)

Anyway, happy birthday, Nick. That buzzing in my ear will never completely go away, not as long as I can remember our calls!
