Herb Trimpe passed away Monday evening.
He will be missed.
I was fortunate to have corresponded a few years ago on line with him.

In the near future I was hoping to have him do some simple drawing for me of some of his past work.
The "Phantom Eagle" from Marvel Super Heros, a Ant Man and the Hulk.
Now I will do these drawing myself and post them later here online.
I started collecting the Incredible Hulk at about #155 as a young man, and absolutely loved his work.

I don't know how many of you out there have seen his strip, it was a great read.

U.S. readers were denied the chance to get to know Air Hawk back in the day. According to John Ryan American syndicates believed their customers had zero interest in adventures of non-Americans. Now, if you moved the strip to the U.S. southwest…

Flaming idiots!

Dixon, like most of the early comic creators Down Under, did it all, writing, art & lettering. Cat-Man, Phantom Commando, Tim Valor, the Crimson Comet, just to hit his main creations.

Worked for most of the major comic book companies during the early to mid '50's, Charlton, Gilberton, and Marvel. All types of stories, crime, horror, sci-fi, war, mystery and western. Never worked for DC as far as what was listed for him.

Our prayers go out to the family at this time.
