The entire DC Entertainment family is saddened by the news of artist Scott Clark's passing. Scott was an extremely talented creator and an important part of The New 52. From the beginning of his career working at WildStorm through his most recent output on titles like Grifter, Batman, Inc. and Manhunter, Clark earned a reputation as an extremely talented and professional artist. We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends and fans.

"I've known Scott since the earliest days of WildStorm - he was one of the very first artists I brought into the studio back in 1993," said DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee. "I'm stunned and saddened by this news and at a loss for words. Scott was a great talent, a terrific guy, and a friend.  He was one of the regular crew of artists who worked well into the night (every night), took dinner at Denny's at 2am and played ping pong in between drawing pages.  We will all miss him dearly. Our thoughts are with his family during this time."
