Apparently Norm Breyfogle, probably most famous for his Batman art of the early 90s. He had a stroke a couple of years ago, I know.

by which i mean he was polite to me while i bitched at him about how i don't fuck with DC any more because of rape culture. can't ask for any more than that.
actually, it was worse than that - i don't always enunciate terribly well and he said "i'm sorry, what culture?", so I wound up screaming "RAPE!" into his face. it was a little awkward, but i guess when you work cons you have to deal with some awkward shit.

González reportedly died after a fire blazed through his first-floor home in Madrid around midnight on Monday (Oct. 1...González, who was of Puerto Rican parentage, was born in East Harlem and grew up in The Bronx. He was a member of Eddie Palmieri’s band early in his career, then joined Manny Oquendo’s Conjunto Libre with his brother, bassist Andy González. Andy was also by his side in The Fort Apache Band, which he formed in 1979.

And of course he was Henry VII in Blackadder in between those and reprising the role in Richard III.
I'll remember him as Bor, the most confused of the Vanir in the Doctor Who serial Terminus.
