Dave Cockrum has passed away

I haven't posted here in ages either, but I know I speak for all Dave's Legion fans when I say how much his run on the book is loved and how much we'll all miss him. He was always great to us fans at legionworld.net when he was active there in happier times. He was the first pro I ever had a chance ...

Who all DID you create Dave?

Poor old Pete! I have to say Dave and Cary Bates did such a good job of portraying him in the spirit of the old Adventure era rejects I misremembered him as a pre-existing character. Whoops! It must be a tribute to Dave's good character that neither of his rejects ever turned their powers to evil, a...

Who all DID you create Dave?

Dave was way too modest in describing his contributions to the Legion. In addition to the characters he outright created, his costume designs lifted the book out of the look established by John Forte and Curt Swan (primarily) by giving the team a more contemporary and adult look which helped revive ...

Cockrum related Legion tidbit

I haven't stopped by for a while but wanted to mention to Dave that one of his Legion creations, Infectious Lass, makes a cameo in the issue that came out this week marking her first appearance since the book rebooted back in the day. We didn't get to see the classic Cockrum costume but the face was...

Two Thumbs Down on Ultimate X-Men #23 and 24

Originally posted by Dark Bamf I know what you mean. It took me about two years to decide to drop Cerebus, and as soon as I did Dave Sym came out with an issue so funny I had to go back and start up for a while again. But Sym was mostly jerking himself off on paper, and I got tired of it. :bamf: Ce...

Introduce Yourselves!!

Thanks guys! Ahmed, I wish I could give Austen a chance, but unfortunately baby Maddy is as tough on the wallet as she is on my sleep. (She's cutting about six teeth, so her sleep is more restless than usual.) It's all I can do to manage my monthy Legion fix. It'd be nice if Marvel would put more of...

Come on Dave, didn't you ever consider hiring some goons to whack any of your rivals on their drawing hands?

DAVE COCKRUM ART THREAD

Hi Dave, I'm signed on here since I was lurking so much anyway. Might as well be upfront about it! It's funny, when I looked at the blondes sketchbook page, I thought "that looks like Tonya Harding" but it seemed like such an off-the-wall choice I figured I was imagining things. Good ol' T...

Introduce Yourselves!!

Hi everyone, I decided to sign up since I've been lurking the last few days, checking out some of the things Dave Cockrum has been posting. I also go by matlock on the x-fan boards, and the DC boards too, although my real name is Matt, which you can feel free to call me. I came aboard because Dave's...
