Dave Cockrum has passed away. Artist, Genius, Creator, he is no longer with us.
I remember buying this comic myself as a wee lad eons ago. I wish I still had it. It's worth a ton of dough, not that I would have sold it. http://www.davecockrum.net is a tribute site and links to his gallery and tidbits including the characters he created.
He brought us Nightcrawler, Storm, Thunderbird, and others. He was the artist on several books, either cover, or interior, for the likes Spiderman, the X-men, Iron Fist, Star Jammers, and the Avengers.
Although he is not my favorite, I am more of a Simonson, and Romita Jr. fan, his influence, art and creativity will be missed. The world will be a little darker now. His legacy will live on.
Sleep well Dave.
