USA Today also mentioned that he was going to be cremated in a Green Lantern T
shirt. Hey...so he was a fan of the field that he worked in. I haven't read it
in a while, but I think Neal Adams had something on his site about the fact
that Cockrum was ill and having trouble making ends meet while Marvel was
making millions off his co-creations. Adams also championed for a couple of
kids from Ohio who created some silly little character a while ago who wore his
red undies outside of his blue long johns...
Greg,
who has Neal's autograph on my fave X-Men panel...
