Can't see any mention of it on this thread, but Tise Vahimagi - scriptwriter on 2000 AD series Dry Run, which was published back in 1990 - died last month.

Interesting.  I thought that Vahimagi might have been acquainted with John Brosnan.  Alan McKenzie seems to have brought both of them onto 2000 AD during that period when Milligan and Morrison were in the process of moving out, and he knew that he needed some reliable talent who could hit deadlines and write longer stories.  Vahimagi also wrote some very good film and TV books commissioned by the BFI.

Sorry to hear that.  Never read anything else he did apart from Dry Run, but I enjoyed that one.
