RIP Carlos Ezquerra

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I have just heard the news that "King" Carlos Ezquerra, co-creator of Judge Dredd (and many more) has passed away today.

I was lucky enough to meet him at what turned out to be one of his last public appearances (Oldham comic-con, 12 May this year) where I got him to sketch Angelina DiGriz

Very sad indeed :(

We got him to do a Judge Anderson last year. Such a lovely, gentle man.

Totally blindsided by this when I read it, he was the first artist to make an impact, going all the way back to Starlord and Johnny Alpha :(
