What awful news. Thank you for all you've done Ellie.

A massive amount of work over the years - I'm sure there's quite a few progs which were carried entirely by Ellie and Annie Parkhouse (wasn't there a Megazine interrogation with the two of them at some point?)

Barney (if you don't use Barney often, don't neglect the links on the right-hand side of the page).

Just last month we got a Tales from the Black Museum lettered by Ellie - no doubt there's one or two other stories out there to be published.

Oh good Grud - just seen this. So shocked and saddened. Ellie was, and shall remain, a huge part of the identity of 2000 AD. Along with Tom and Annie she was responsible for the legibility of the printed page for many years.

Farewell Ellie, and thanks from this Squaxx.

Could not agree more. Very sorry to hear of Ellie's passing. R.I.P.

Really sorry to hear this. Ellie's work has been a mainstay for so many years and in so many stories. Her work on Dreams of Deadworld was fantastic, to give just one example. RIP Ellie.

Sad news to great the new year for me; Ellie De Ville was a true legend of the Prog and Meg. Rest in Peace.

I don't know about the Megazine but I interviewed them for the old 2000adreview fansite: https://web.archive.org/web/20060630180533/http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/features/interviews/2006/parkhousedeville/parkhousedeville.shtml

There was a megazine interrogation with both of them, can't remember which meg, but some time in the last five years I'd guess.
