Just learned via his family's post on Facebook that the longtime fan artist & editor Tim Corrigan has died. Back in the mid-'70s, his Tim Corrigan's Superhero Comics was not only fun & interesting in itself, it also provided an outlet for at least one future pro I for one had never encountered before, Jerry Ordway. (The same may well have been true for Willie Blyberg as well. On that count I have to plead a fading memory some 40 years after the fact.)

Tim remained a prominent figure in comics zine publishing, focusing as always (AFAIK) on stripzines. His Tim Corrigan's Comics & Stories was still going, I believe.

He was 64. That's a little too young, not to mention a little too close to home for some of us.

OK -- a lot too young.
