So sad
It is with great sadness that I share the heartbreaking news that DC artist Robson Rocha has passed away. An incredibly talented young artist from Brazil—Robson started at DC just 11 years ago and always impressed me with the amazing energy and fluidity of his figurework, pic.twitter.com/tenDOEILAJ

No easy way to say all of this
We lost Robson Rocha. He’s been ill with Covid complications for a while, but things were starting to look better for a bit. And then… no. I’m still processing all this, I guess, so I don’t have much to say. Trying to figure out what to do, how best to support his family.

He was on his way
Today, the comic book industry lost one of its greatest talents. Me, I lost a brother.
Robson Rocha was destined to be one of the giants of the industry, and he was already on his way to become one. I used to joke with him that his work was so good it was offensive. pic.twitter.com/4ZbUxt3fNx

Heartbreaking
Completely gutted to hear of Robson Rocha’s passing. I first saw his stuff with Taylor on Superman/Batman a few years ago and was really impressed but rediscovering his magnificent work on Aquaman w/ Kelly Sue this last year has been such a joy.
All my best to his family.

Just incredible talent
Robson Rocha had the incredible talent of using his art to express ideas that were trapped between script & words. We both loved horror & snuck that in our projects. My heart is broken & still refuses to believe he is gone now. Comics has lost a great artist & even better friend. pic.twitter.com/jJWRkrgeCc

A kind man
I don’t really know what to say except that Robson Rocha was a brilliant artist, a kind man, and a loving husband and father. He was so incredibly loved and will be deeply missed. pic.twitter.com/kXJ38vY7ag

Just crushing
Gutted to hear about the passing of Robson Rocha.
His art was modern & detailed, yet still evoked that classic DC spirit. Between his recent Aquaman and Future State: Justice League work it felt he was finally getting the recognition he deserved.
RIP. Another one lost to covid. pic.twitter.com/hb5Op6ie8y
