I can't be the only one who sees the irony in this: an illustrator made famous by his work for Marvel Comics passed away on Sunday while wearing Superman pajamas and sleeping under a Batman blanket. He is expected to be cremated wearing a Green Lantern t-shirt. For someone so pioneering with the X-Men, one would think that Dave Cockrum would have more affinity for some of the characters he created at Marvel. But apparently his early work with DC had a more lasting impact.
