Don't know if the story is true, but some of his paintings were reproduced in his 1980's Comics Journal interview.

Saddened to learn of the death of my dear friend Malcolm Edwards, my first British editor, who in my opinion had no equal in the language. Not only brilliant and deeply kind, but superbly comical as well.

It has come to my attention that the seemingly unstoppable cartoonist Matt Howarth has recently passed away. Condolences to my fellow Howarth aficionados and friends. His truly was a rare talent. From a few years back, here's a paean to one of his finest creations: whosoutthere.ca/2020/10/13/t...

This popped up in Heritage's weekly auctions, a page from an unpublished adaptation of Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder". Artist(s) unidentified, but my guess is Gil Kane inked by Wayne Howard.

In 1974, fans wrote letters responding to an advertisement in a Marvel comic, threatening to stop reading Marvel if it continued. Roy Thomas raised the issue with Stan Lee, and, according to an internal office memo involving then-president Al Landau, no more ads of its like were used.

I'm seeing reports on Facebook that pulp and comics historian Will Murray passed away on Monday. In comics he's best known for having created (along with Steve Ditko) Marvel's Squirrel Girl.

I bought these when they first appeared, I enjoyed Roy Thomas's return to the series. But I'm still kicking myself for not having bought the SAVAGE SWORD issues at the time, I'm still looking for a copy of the last issue (which goes for insane prices now).

Just got the new English-language boxed set of Enrique Breccia hardcovers from Epicenter Comics. I’ve been wanting to read these stories for a decade, and now I finally can. There is no one in comics who can fill a landscape panel with mystery and poetry like Breccia.

R.I.P., fellow letterer Dave Lanphear. First noticed his work when he was the on staff letterer at Crossgen. He had an elegant look & style to his work which blended well with their books. Spoke with him a few times over the phone and via email and always enjoyed talking with him. Gone way too soon.

Comics from that time have two shipping dates: one for direct sales, and another for newsstand sales (three weeks after direct sales). If some dates don't match it may be because direct and newsstand dates are mixed up in the sources you're using.
