Good.

Victor Ambrus. I do remember. Dracula and Blackbeard.
RIP him and Si Spencer too.

The best in his field for so long, a master of letting the viewer's imagination fill in the gaps so that what you looked at appeared whole and convincing.  (Briefly taught my missus in a past century, although it didn't take). RIP.

Sad news about Si Spencer. I had no idea he was a scriptwriter for TV, but you forget script bots have another life outside 2000AD and The Megezine.

Very sad news about Si Spencer. I don't know anything of his work beyond Tharg's boundaries but that piece on Down the Tubes painted a vivid picture.

Not as unexpected, perhaps, but Lawrence Ferlinghetti - poet, publisher and enthusiastic promoter of the Beat poets - has died at the ripe old age of 101.

I don't see it mentioned earlier, but the electronic musician/producer/etc SOPHIE died a few weeks ago in an accident. Shockingly young.
We never really die.

One that sneaked past me last month was the death of Remy Julienne, stunt driver and co-ordinator on the Italian Job and various Bond movies, aged 90 from Covid.
An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

LG Petrov, frontman of Entombed.
Knew this was likely after his cancer diagnosis, but still horrible news.
You're a dark horse, Boots.
