RIPs

[The Legendary Shark]

Aye, even I am saddened by this news. Great memories, great inspiration, great artist. Rest easy, Mr Cooper.

[Colin YNWA]

Damn another great talent gone. Always a big fan of his work and have been waiting feverishly for Titan to get to reprinting his wonderful Johnny Red work.

Thoughts with his loved ones.

This is getting very depressing 

[I, Cosh]

Sad news. Only a couple of months after I started reading, so Nikita Engels will always.have a place in my heart.

Another artist whose work was such a thrill has gone.

The story about the brat boy [Tin Minded Prog 50] whose Robot Carer is instructed not to let him out of his sight is one of those Future Shocks that scared me rotten and I loved the art and story. Miserable news.

Aw no, not another great artist! I loved his works in ACTION when I was teenager!

And last week I was re-read his Armitage series in Megzines

[Heath C Ackley]

Sad news again. First Brett last week and now John Cooper. I have fond memories of his work.

[Woolly]

Aw no, more awful news    Another sad loss, and my thoughts are with his family and friends.

I first saw John Cooper's artwork in Scream! comic, on the phantomn hitch-hiker story, and loved his style as soon as i saw it. It was a genuine thrill to see him return to Armitage in the Megazine, and a real shame we wont see any more. He made Armitage his own.

Johnny Red and The Last Invader are both classic strips.  One of the stalwarts of seventies and eighties British comics.

Just heard about Cooper, really sad to hear it. He was such a fixture in all the comics I read growing up - Battle especially and yeah, Johnny Red will always remain as one of my absolute favourites.

Very sad to hear about John Cooper.
I'm a big fan of his work, and am privileged to own some of his brilliant original artwork too.

It's been a definite 'make the most of the time you have because you never know when you'll go' kind of week. The point has very much been made now, so if the Fates could leave everyone alone, that'd be great.
