Man of Letters Dies
I was very saddened to learn that Tom Frame died earlier this month.
Tom was a letterer (literally someone who writes the text in comics) for 2000AD and several other UK comics. For me, he was the letterer for Judge Dredd, and like a lot of early-2000AD stalwarts for a whole generation he will be better known for his droid alter-ego than for what he actually looked like.
So, as someone who helped form a large part of my childhood and adolescence (and arguably too much of my adulthood) Tom, thanks a lot.

Thanks for the tip. Sounds good. I’m not entirely unaware of Paul’s work and I’m a big fan of Trevor Hairsine.
