Mario DeMarco, 1921-2008

Mario DeMarco, a prolific illustrator, cartoonist and self-publisher, passed away at his home Saturday. He was 86 years old. Although there is almost no corroborating evidence to be found on-line except for the various self-publishing efforts, the obituary running in a local newspaper using information from family members counts among his projects work that appeared in Life, Links, Highlights for Children and in various magazines published by the Becket Sports company. The obituary mentions that he drew the cartoon Scuttlebutt for Navy Times, where he worked for 50 years. In recent years, much of his work looks to have been portraits that accompanies various self-published works about serial movies and westerns, such as 1986's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Western Stars, Heroines and Sidekicks.
