Whatever Happened to Alan Mitchell?

After a touch of both jiggery and pokery I have split this off to its own thread, but the link below takes you to the previous one - I was just in danger of both necroposting and taking it way off topic, hence the new thread.

So what happened to Alan Mitchell?

I have been wondering this. Luckily someone has popped up and dropped a tonne of information on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Mitchell_%28comics%29

This might be his most recent work:

He has popped up on Down The Tubes so I might be able to point him in this direction.

And on the mid-90s Imhotep comic from the artist, with a few bits of art from it:

Up until this point my career path into that of a comic artist was on track. Hanging out at ACME Comics in Brixton I met Alan Mitchell, a comic writer who worked on Third World War with Pat Mills, published in Crisis.

This led to our collaborating on a comic called the "Scrolls of Imhotep" that was published in an Africentric magazine called The Alarm. Eventually, I got to meet the editor of 2000AD, who – when he saw my work – promised me a try out in the magazine. I was at the cusp of fulfilling my schoolboy dream, so what happened?
