Guilty of being Rude, Creepy, soliciting nudes from female comic fans/artists, " being a dick " etc.
Nothing illegal . Nothing legally actionable . An immature lout , crass and the creep factor was high.
Ironically , if he ( or some other comic artist ) was guilty of Manslaughter, and got out in 7 years he would have been accepted back into comic society.- depending who he/she had killed in self defense.. with open arms..
There have been other Artists and writers Cancelled , mostly due to who they vote for politically, or if they are old seasoned vets of the industry.or if they are " mean "
Professional comics creators should not lose their jobs for wearing the wrong political hat, religion , and be replaced by less younger, Untalented , overtly pushing " the message " and crap on the fans of said industry.
It really does come down to that old adage .... Judge the art not the artist.And if people can't then ignore the jerk and then don't buy his/ or her stuff. For me : If Stalin and Hitler worked on a comic series from 1938 till 1945 about Slavic and Northmen Vikings journing thru a medieval wasteland lasting 45 issues until the council of GODZ comes down from the machine to destroy them- I'd pick up a few copies and check it out.
Ed Piskor was not Frank Miller or Jim LEE.- just a comics lover, Comics historian, artist, writer who had to work hard to ACTUALLY make a living in the here and now-- the near bottom of the barrel of industry right now - but he did it.
And now he;s dead. Cancelled
Guys better then Piskor like Robert Crumb are many of these vapid labels and he still is alive and well.
Until he wasn't aloud to do it any longer. So now he's gone - and the cancel pigs who helped corner him using social media and internet " helped " make it happen
