Legendary comic book artist Dave Cockrum passes away
News from Spider-ben
Fellow comic fans,
I just found out some sad news. Legendaray Comic book artist Dave Cockrum passed away over the Thanksgiving weekend. Cockrum died due to complications with his diabetes. It's really sad because when I think of the new X-Men I think of Len Wein, Chris Claremont, and Dave Cockrum. Dave Introduced some of the most popular and iconic X-Men characters ever, and his style and flair astonished readers. Even to this day, the designs of Storm, Nightcralwer, Colossus, and Phoenix stand out in the hearts and minds of X-Men fans everywhere. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Cockrum's family, and I hope that Dave has acheived peace and happiness. Dave has done so much for X-men and comic book readers, and I thank him for everything he did for the comic book industry. Rest well Mr. Cockrum, and God bless. link
Thank you very much Dave for introducing me to worlds and characters that have forever changed my life. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.
