Greg Hildebrandt, artist and illustrator best known for his work in Star Wars, Marvel Masterpieces, Magic: The Gathering and The Lord of the Rings alongside his late twin brother, has died at the age of 85.
Hildebrandt's wife Jean Scrocco posted the news that her husband of 15 years, and partner for over 30 years, died last night. She wrote 'The light has gone out in my life. At 12:36 pm this afternoon the love of my life, my best friend and soulmate passed away. Greg was 85 years young. He was the sweetest man I ever knew. We worked together for 45 years. We lived together for 33 of those years. We had a beautiful life we were blessed.
Greg married his first wife, Diana F. Stankowski, in 1963, who modelled for Princess Leia on the Star Wars movie poster and had two daughters and a son. In 1991 Greg became the partner of longtime colleague Jean Scrocco and they married in 2009. Paul Levitz, former DC Publisher & President, posted, 'We lost one of the greats yesterday. If Jack Kirby gave the world the visual dynamic of action, Greg Hildebrandt and his brother Tim gave it the rich decor of the imagination.
