In Memorium: Fred Kida
Fred Kida [see photo; inset] was a Japanese-American comic book artist, best known
for golden age aviator-hero “Airboy” and his sometime ally Valkyrie, passed
away on April 3, 2014 at the age of ninety-three. Kida worked for Marvel Comics
between the 1950s and the 1970s; eventually handling the company's The Amazing
Spider-Man newspaper comic strip during the early 1980s. Kida also assisted
artist Dan Barry on the long-running strip Flash Gordon from 1958 to 1961, and
then again from 1968 to 1971. The Catacombs extends it sincerest condolences to
his family, friends and fans.
