RIP John Hicklenton

Your proprietor is dismayed and saddened to read of the death of comics artist John Hicklenton.

Hicklenton's work on the British strip Nemesis the Warlock was a revelation, bringing a gloriously gothpunk spirit to a character already entrenched in khaos. Hicklenton had been diagnosed with MS in 2000, and fought the disease as boldly as he flaunted artistic conventions.

Thanks, John.
