Here's some concept Artwork allegedly from Noah Hawley's Alien TV show. Twitter, so treat with some caution.

Oliver Frey's distinctive style graced many Magazine covers. I used to buy the old Crash: ZX Spectrum, and I think Oliver produced comic book interiors for that publication. More terrible news then, and this year is proving a nemesis for many of my favourite artists and creators. None of us is getting any younger, of course.

Swedish media Group Embracer acquired the LOTR rights to not only the films but also to video games and other merchandise. There might be new films or video games on the way, and we still haven't seen the Amazon TV series yet.

More sad news from the Comic Book Industry as Tom Palmer was an outstanding inker of pencils. Very unfortunate to hear of his passing.

Incredible work.

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your Sam. Wonderful photo of him contemplating the ocean.

Raymond Briggs did some politically charged stuff like When The Wind Blows and The Tin Pot Foreign General And The Old Iron Woman that allegorised the Falklands conflict. It was the Snowman that will live forever, a deceptively simple tale of the joy and loss of Christmas. Very sorry to hear of his passing.
