Art Nichols has died at the age of 63. He is most famous for drawing Magnus, Robot Fighter for Valiant Comics... but he also inked George Perez for Sachs & Violens, as well as other works.

Comic Book Creator Arthur Nichols Dies At The Age Of 63

Comics artist Chad Townsend posted to social media, "It is with a heavy heart I let people know, Comic artist Arthur Nichols passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. Arthur was Neal Adams' personal assistant at one point in his career. And just because I think it's a cool story, he hired @JoeQuesada in his first gig. Arthur was especially proud of his work on Magnus, Robot Fighter alongside Bob Layton and the crew of Valiant Comics. RIP, Arthur."

R.I.P. Marc Michetz (Kogaratsu)

Kogaratsu: v. 1: The Lotus of Blood (Jul 1987)

Belgian comic book artist, Marc Michetz (real name Marc Degroide), has died at the age of 73. He's famous for being the artist of Kogaratsu.

On January 9, at the age of 73, the Belgian designer Marc Michetz, stage name of Marc Degroide, an author known in the world of the bande dessinée died especially for the Japanese series of setting Kogaratsu, written by Bosse.

Born in 1951, Marc Michetz had studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, before starting to collaborate in the mid-seventies with Jean Graton, the creator of Michel Vaillant.

Passionate about Japanese culture, in 1981 he created together with Bosse the series Kogaratsu, the story of a ronin – or a samurai without a master – published by Dupuis and composed of 14 albums, the last of which was released in 2014 (in Italy the series was only partially translated in 2001 by Edizioni BD).

In 1990, Michetz co-created another similar set of a similar setting, Takio, scripted by Yann and published by Glénat, for a total of two volumes.

A very unproliferous drawer, Marc Michetz was equipped with a naturalistic trait, well planted in the Franco-Belgian comic tradition and rather far from that of manga, despite his great passion for Japanese culture.

JLA/Avengers 1983 Timeline: A Visual Guide

Comics Interview #6 (Aug 1983)

The following visual JLA/Avengers is based on “WHEN TITANS CLASH!” written by KC Carlson, a piece that was commissioned for the 2004 collected JLA/Avengers hardcover.

Tom Breevort writes, “Ultimately, though, the article was rejected for inclusion in the oversized collection. The reported word that came back was that “It didn’t make anybody look good” and so was considered inappropriate to be in the book.”

This is a work in progress, please send me files or send feedback to me ( [email protected] ) and I'll add it to the timeline.
