RIP John Hicklenton

[Mike Gloady]

Only three volumes OF the Nemesis phonebooks, TS so an easy job.  I believe he drew The Two Torquemadas and Deathbringer.  Possibly others.  He also drew various Dredds - including several of the Heavy Metal Dredd storylines.

[Robin Low]

His work on Nemesis stands out as one of the most spectacular, distinctive and just plain exciting contributions to 2000AD ever.

Robin

Just saw this and had the wind knocked out of me.  John was a unique, wild talent and the memory of his Nemesis work was one of the few stories that stuck with me from when I was first reading it as a nipper and hardly glanced at credit boxes. RIP.

[Peter Wolf]

What a shame but he isnt suffering anymore.

I havent been exposed to very much of Johns art but what i have seen i like because his art is toally unique and bizarre.

[Dandontdare]

Sad news indeed. RIP

[Zarjazzer]

Rest in peace John Hinckleton. My thoughts are with his friends and family.

[Lord Running Clam]

Very sad news. He was a wonderfully distinctive artist. My condolences to his family and friends.

[vzzbux]

Wow. Sad news. Unexpectedly this news has hit me for a six. Not one of my fave styles but he was unique to the prog and definitely left his mark

R.I.P. John.

Sad news.

[Teivion]

I knew about this on Friday - a mutual friend became good friends with Johnny and was able to interview him on Monday/Tuesday of last week for his radio show.
Ill try and get hold of a link to the interview as it was his last- he was also asked by CH4 but turned them down in favour of Henry and Co, as he found the chat show talks with them therapeutic- it was a regular interview with them, about MS and stuff.
Johnny called me up randomly as he'd heard about me through the friend. He didn't have to,( I never even passed on my number) but wanted to say hi and give me some advice on Dredd and Judge Minty. He was a fab bloke through the little I knew him, and he kept in touch by sending me pics of his work on my mobile.

I'll post the link ASAP

I've just seen this, and haven't read all of the thread but I'm very, very sorry to hear the great John Hicklenton is dead.  He'll never know how important his Nemesis stories were to my childhood.  The man helped shape my dreams. RIP Johnny
