Robert K. LeRose, 1920/1-2006

imageLongtime DC colorist and production artist Bob LeRose passed away on August 30, according to an article written for The Pulse by LeRose's one-time boss Bob Rozakis, who remembered their 13-year professional relationship and the colorist himself fondly. The article states that LeRose was a veteran of World War II who worked for Johnstone & Cushing and Stenzel Productions before coming to DC in the mid- to late-1970s. Over the next 20 years he amased a formidable collection of credits as a colorist on both interiors and covers, with a few random inking and lettering credits thrown in, as well as a credit for work in a late-'70s issue of Heavy Metal. Little is written about LeRose although historians might note he was interviewed in 1998 by the 'Nuff Said radio show. Rozakis says that LeRose left his staff position in the late '90s, but continued to freelance. He was 85 years old.
