Such a sad loss. I love his art and his complete determination was inspiring.

He was a truly talented man and, after seeing "Here's Johnny" he seemed to be a nice guy with a great attitude.  Condolences to his friends and family.

John Hicklenton let me interview him for the Megazine a while back to promote the award-winning documentary ‘Here’s Johnny’. During the couple of hours we chatted over the phone he struck me as fearsome, pragmatic and entirely generous.
He was also a wildly talented artist.
My deepest sympathy to his friends and family.

Very sad news, but as Pat says not unexpected and he stayed his own man to the end.

I'm happy that I did meet him, at the friends and family lauch of Here's Johnny. He had a lot of friends there and I'm sure he'll be sorely missed.

I was just watching Here's Johnny DVD last Thursday and spent Fri & Sat rereading his none Nemesis 2000ad work, this is really quite upsetting.My heartfelt thoughts go out to his family and friends.

So sad to hear this and I'm sorry for his family's loss.  It's safe to say his art could polarize opinion, but that's good, I think, as it helps highlight that something unique in the world has passed from us.

Sad news indeed. When I hear John's name it always takes me back to the Black Widow story and how he'd drawn the pages, putting so much into each panel, excellent stuff.

Sad day. Sad news.

Thanks for the art you left us, John. There'll never be another quite like you.

Rest easy, now.

Mark.

Very sad news. I did wonder when I saw Clint's "fairwell Johnny" dedication on the cover of prog 1677.
