Phil Gascoine, 1934-2007

imageHeidi MacDonald at The Beat caught mention that veteran British cartoonist Phil Gascoine died this week following a brief illness. Gascoine was in comics for nearly all of his adult life, leaving school at the age of 15 to work in artists' studios. Gascoine is probably best known for a run of military comics through features like "The Sarge," which ran in Battle Action, and for a subsequent run on North America's roughly equivalent titles like The Unknown Soldier. Other credits include girls comics such as Jinty, Marvel UK comics like GenitiX and strips for Loaded.

Phil Gascoine was 73 years old.
