GUTTED to hear about Rick. He was an absolutely awesome designer. I spent every waking hour I could on my Spectrum as a kid.

Ouch. Yes, I grew up with her in the role, and it's her face I see when I think of Lois Lane.

69. She's younger than my Dad. Not meaning to be morbid but it makes one think.

The same thought occurred to me (about my dad, not yours!)

If I'm being honest I've always thought Kidder's Lois was a pretty dreadful creature, but she was also a wonderful, memorable screen creation, who I can instantly bring to life in my mind's eye all these years later.  As iconic as Reeve's definitive Superman, and now as much missed.  Sad to read of Margot's long struggle.  RIP.

Gardner Dozois (70), modern SF's greatest (human) editor. One name dominates my bookshelves, taking up one entire bookcase and spreading into the ones either side, and it is his. His countless anthologies have introduced me to many of my favourite writers, and allowed to follow the current work of many others. He seldom steered me wrong. RIP.

A name I've seen over and over again in science fiction magazines and anthologies. I don't think science fiction would have been the same without his guiding hand. RIP.

Aye. A new Year's Best Science Fiction collection always yields a few gems, even if it takes almost the whole year to get through it.
