RIP Ian Gibson

[Dos_Box]

I'm rather sad about this. The comic artist Ian Gibson passed away yesterday af age 77. He was a staple of the early days of 2000ad and I had always had a hope that Alan Moore would somehow finish the Halo Jones story with him as the artist.

A great loss to the comic industry.

You can see a very good example of his work on Halo Jones (a highly recommended read if you haven't seen it yet) here - Final Frames: Halo Jones Anybody

Shame Alan Moore is such an old curmudgeon and they never got to finish.

He fell out with Fleetway over who owned the rights to Halo sadly.

It was always my dream that following a EuroMillions win I'd buy the rights and give them to Moore under the proviso he finishes the story.

There is an interview with Neil Gaiman on YouTube somewhere where he tells of his meeting Moore and he told him how the story would have panned out in the 6 remaining installments.

One of the great 'what-ifs'.
