X-Men Illustrator Dies

Comic book fans are mourning:
COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) — Wearing Superman pajamas and covered with his Batman blanket, comic book illustrator Dave Cockrum died Sunday.

The 63-year-old overhauled the X-Men comic and helped popularize the relatively obscure Marvel Comics in the 1970s. He helped turn the title into a publishing sensation and major film franchise....

A family friend said he will be cremated in a Green Lantern shirt.

I'll bet that's just how John wants to go out, too.
