I meant to mention the untimely death of Kevin O'Neill before now, but my energy levels have been a bit low these last few days. I can't be 100% sure, but I think I met him - or at least saw him - around the 2000 A.D. offices at least once, and have the impression I saw him again when he brought in his resized pages of Metalzoic to Irwin House for reprinting in 2000 A.D. Talented artist, and a sad loss for comics, even though I read he'd retired from the medium.
Other blogs will have more detailed accounts of the man's life and career, and there are bound to be lots of heartfelt tributes from those who knew and worked with him, and deservedly so. For my own part, although I never knew him and only maybe met him, it's a sad loss all the same, so R.I.P. Kevin. The above cropped photo is from Ally Sloper #2, taken at Comics 101 in 1976 (I think). That's Kevin on the left, and the bespectacled man on the right is Frank Hampson.
So I'm a bit late with this, but I didn't want Kevin's passing to go unacknowledged on Crivens!
