Oh no and oh no!
I can’t say much about Simon, but Barreto was always one of my favorite Superman artists, someone like Jose Luis Garcia Lopez who would show up once in a blue moon, wow us, and then vanish off the map for years on end. He is already missed.

This is a shock because I knew him but hadn’t seen him much after he relocated to South America. I saw him a few years ago at Comicon. He should have had another 40 years like Joe Simon did.
