Personal History

Richard Corben married Dona Corben Marchant in 1965.

Death

At 80, following a heart surgery, Richard Corben passed away. His wife issued the following statement on Rich Corben's official Richard Corben website.

 It is with great sorrow and loss that I must share the sad news that Richard Corben died Dec 2, 2020 following heart surgery. He will be missed tremendously by his family, his friends, and his fans.

Richard was very appreciative of the love for his art that was shown by you, his fans. Your support over the decades meant a great deal to him. He tried to repay your support by working diligently on each piece of art going out to you. Although Richard has left us, his work will live on and his memory will live always in our hearts.

I will continue to conduct sales of Richard's art through the Corben Studios website at corbencomicart.com.

I will also be managing the ongoing process of publishing his work internationally. Please give me and my family a little time to collect ourselves and we'll get back with you in 2021. 

—Dona Corben

Professional History

 His was a singular vision that rendered a multiverse like no else's - daunting, widely imaginative, raw, full of drama and dramatic lighting, inhabited by beings of power and emotion... A unique genius. 

—Walter Simonson for Marvel Remembers
