Another great from the comics industry was lost recently.
Dave Cockrum spent six years in the navy before being given the chance to pursue his artistic talent as work. He found a job with Warren publishing, then inking Murhpy Anderson's art before being handed the reigns to DC's Legion of Superheroes, and Marvel's X-Men.
He died from complications of diabetes.
His artwork was some of the first I ever experienced in comic books. It was rich in expressions and the action on the page captured the mood of the story well. He's another great one gone too soon.
R.I.P. Dave Cockrum. 1963 - 2006.
