Sad news from Europe indeed.
Jean Giraud aka Moebius was one of my heroes.
Saw his work on "Arzach" and was totally flashed.
And with "Lieutenant Blueberry" he created the most beautiful and gripping western comic of all time (sorry to say, my dear Americanos).

Re. Jean Giraud.  I've just seen the notice on Comics UK and commented that it's rather depressing how many comics creators are leaving us. Because of an interest in European comics, I've always been aware of his work and, although it didn't appeal to enough to collect, I have read a fair bit of it and it is powerful, strong, well crafted material. tilliban, I'd be close to agreeing with you on Blueberry.  Yes, I think he was a giant of the comics world.

I have the sad duty to inform the community that LOU CAMERON is no longer with us.
There has been some confusion about the matter.
(I myself spread the rumor of him being still alive just last month... sorry for that)

Reliable sources informed me that he passed away - and quite some time ago, in November 2010.
Wikipedia has NOW updated this information.

For futher reference read:

I'm not sure if this was mentioned here yet, but Golden Age artist Fran Matera passed away last week.

http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/fran_matera_1924_2012/

I'm a latecomer to finding his work, but I have a friend who knew him. From all he tells me, Fran was a talented creator and all-around wonderful human being. He'll be missed.

Ray was probably...no, definitely...my favorite author when I was growing up.  I collected his works as fervently as I did any comic books.  Met the man at my first San Diego con and the only thing I had for him to autograph was an old ish of ASTOUNDING, in which he'd had a short-short story pubbed in the fannish slush-pile section at the back.  He looked at it and went, "Oh my God...", but still autographed it anyway.  Live on, Ray.
