An authentic original, Kevin O'Neill's artwork was always striking and incredible. Awful news to hear he'll pen no more, and condolences to his friends and family. I don't think there was any more intriguing an artist, stylistically speaking; his work seemed almost abstract yet compelling in detail. With Alan Grant's unfortunate demise earlier this year, 2022 is another year to forget.

That was an excellent analysis of a scene that tells you everything you need to know without knowing it.

Dead Kennedys drummer D H Peligro dies after he hits his head in a fall. Damn, one of the finest US punk bands ever, they endured various legal battles, with lead singer Jello Biafra financially settling in the end with the other band members.

Oh well, there goes my dream of one day seeing a Gunn-directed Strontium Dog movie (he's a big Stront fan, and I think it would be a perfect match of director and material).

You never know; he might reference the Stronty Universe of Bounty Hunters in an alternative Universe type of thing. Will he have the Main man Lobo as a Bounty Hunter?

He was superb in almost everything he performed, whether comic relief as Hagrid or serious acting in Cracker.
