News is just coming in of noted comic book artist Steve lightle having passed unexpectedly at the tragically young age of 61, due to cardiac arrest related to a COVID 19 infection

I'm sure I join everyone in expressing our sympathies for their loss to his family and friends, of whom he had many, being a genial and pleasant chap on facebook for a good few years.

My first exposure to his work remains probably my favourite; the 1980's Legion of Superheroes, where his slightly cartoony style seemed eminently suited to the sci-fi adventures of brightly costumed superheroes.

And this remains one of my favourite issues, one of the (in)famous "Legion Try Out" issues, in this case from 1985 (with story my Paul Levitz) which goes a bit more smoothly than some of it's predecessors
