Barry looks healthy and wizardly with Joe Sinnott at Sinnott's retirement party last week. VALIANT fans miss you BWS, thanks for all the great comics!

It said he was retiring from comic books at age 92. Even though he obviously wasn't still active in the industry, I imagine he was doing the occasional commission and whatnot.

I checked his website and it mentions he was inking the Spiderman comic strip until March of this year when the strip ended. He retired after that.

Awesome. His work on A&A 1-12 was seminal. IMO
