John Hicklenton Leaves Us With 100 Months To Remember Him ByFamed 2000AD artist John Hicklenton passed away last week, aged 42, after suffering with multiple sclerosis for many years, at the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland.

Known here mostly for work with Pat Mills such as Nemesis The Warlock, Zombieworld and Blood Of Satanus, he also worked on 2000AD with Neil Gaiman, Alan Grant and Grant Morrison. Much of his work was published on the continent however, and garned fans  including Moebius. He was most recently working on a graphic novel called 100 Months, completing it before he died and the publishing rights have already been sold to three countries.

Clips from his documentary on his life and illness can be found here. Pat Mills calls him a "great artist and  a true hero" and is writing a short piece for an upcoming 2000AD/Megazine memorial issue.
