The death has occurred of John Cooper
at 73. He was a British comic book artist from West Yorkshire that was
most famous for his work in the '70's and '80's. Chances are if you read
any British weekly comic books around that period, you'll likely have
seen his work as he drew strips for Valiant, Action, Starlord, Tornado,
Battle, Eagle and one of the first Judge Dredd strips for 2000AD.
While he's known for Johnny Red and One-Eyed Jack - what I'll
remember him for is the hundreds of pages of Action Force which he drew
for ICP's Battle: Action Force in the mid 80's featuring all the
G.I.Joe characters from that period, long before anyone in this neck of
the woods had ever heard of G.I.Joe.
