I recently discovered that Dave Cockrum passed away after a lenghty battle with illness and I wanted to put something up to remember him by, my deepest sympathy goes out to his family . . . . i was lucky enough to meet Mr. Cockrum at a Comic-con back in '91 and I gotta tell ya, a nicer guy you'll never meet. He was nice enough to sit and talk with me for about 20 minutes, about tecnique and comics, I was just starting out in the biz and he was nice enough to take the time . . . . I happen to have some pieces by Mr. Cockrum at this link http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=10299 Please feel free to check them out . . . . . . . . . .I just want to say Thanx Dave for all the great characters such as Nightcrawler, Storm and Colossus . . . the comic universe lost one of it's brightest stars . . . . .
