ARTIST STEVE DILLON PASSES AWAY...

Just learned via STEVE HOLLAND's blog (here) that artist STEVE DILLON has died at the age of 54.  I met Steve once (at least) in the 2000 A.D. offices, and used to letter ROGUE TROOPER when he illustrated it and SIMON GELLER wrote it.  I liked his art - he had a natural talent and was drawing professionally from the age of 16, and was every bit as good as older, more seasoned professionals.  The world of comics is the poorer for his untimely passing.  Read more about the man and his work at the above link.
