Joe Sinnott, a comic book inker long synonymous with Marvel, has passed away at the age of 93.

"It with great sorrow that we must announce the passing of Joltin’ Joe Sinnott on June 25th at 8:40am at the age of 93," Sinnott's family shared on his Facebook page. "He went peacefully with the knowledge that his family, friends, and fans adored him. He enjoyed life and was drawing up until the end. He always loved hearing from all of you and having your comments read to him. Each and every one of you were special to him."

Sinnott, who just retired from comics in 2019, was first published in 1950's Mopsy #12 from St. John Publications, where he illustrated the "Trudi" backup. Shortly after, he met Stan Lee of the then-Atlas Comics, where he worked on a number of the Marvel predecessor's pre-superhero titles.

By the 1960s, Sinnott primarily worked as an inker, including inking for Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four and for other big names such as John Romita, John Buscema, George Perez, Rich Buckler, John Byrne and Bill Sienkiewicz.

Sinnott was the winner of the 1995 Inkpot Award, three 2008 Inkwell Awards (including the Hall of Fame Award) and the 2013 Will Eisner Hall of Fame Award.
