I just heard some heartbreaking news from Alex Ross : his longtime friend, Frank Kasy—the man who served as the model for Superman, Captain America, and many other superheroes in his illustrations—is facing serious health challenges and needs surgery.
Frank Kasy has been a longtime friend and one of the most influential people in Alex Ross’s life. He has been a major source of inspiration for how Alex depicts superheroes, particularly Superman.
Some of you may know that I’m a huge fan of Alex Ross’s illustrations. His work has been a great inspiration to me, and with this, I want to do whatever I can to help.
Alex Ross has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to support Frank Kasy’s medical care and his family during this difficult time.
I’m going to do what I can, and I’m also asking for your consideration to help him as well. To me, legacy is not only about the work we leave behind, but also about the empathy and kindness we show to others.
Any donation or even a simple share would mean a lot. Please consider helping if you can and may God bless him and his family during this difficult time.
Thank you.
