Jay was a great guy. I met him in Denver in 2005. Nicest guy you’d ever want to meet. Knew everything about the comics business. Answered my silly questions with grace and patience. I’ll miss him.

I went to school with Jay, and knew him since the ninth grade, so I’m hit on two levels, both as a professional cartoonist and as an old friend. We were in art class together, and his talents and passion for the art were evident even then. I received one of the first copies of his UNDERGROUND COMICS PRICE GUIDE. Over the years, I would see him both at comics conventions and high school reuinions. Of the latter, the only one he ever missed was the 30th, when it conflicted with the Reubens. I’ve recently suffured losses in my family, but these I knew were coming. Not that it makes it any easier- we all know it doesn’t. Jay’s passing, however, was so sudden. I’m in shock.

I have known Jay Kennedy for more than 20 years and still have letters of encouragement he sent me when I was starting out. This is such sad news.

Shocking news! I’m so sorry for his family. Jay was THE authority on Underground Comix who wrote the only price guide.
