Cockrum the X-Men Illustrator Dies 63-year-old Dave Cockrum died in his favourite Superman pyjamas and with his Batman blanket around him at his home in Belton, SC, after battling with diabetes and its complications for a long time. The illustrator who is well known for boosting Marvel Comics’ popularity by overhauling the X-Men comics in the 1970s which were made into a film franchise requested that he doesn’t get a public service and for his body to be cremated. Cockrum was born in Ore., served in Vietnam for the U.S. Navy and then he moved to New York and started drawing Legion of Super-Heroes for DC Comics. He then moved to Marvel where he re-launched and added new heroes to the X-men with Len Wein. shortnews.com
