Whatever happened to Dave Cockrum??

[THEARROW2000]

Was going thru a box the other day and came across the Futurians graphic novel and comic issues.<br><br>Had a warm and fuzzy over reading a fun superhero romp again and got to thinking......What happened to Mr. Cockrum??<br><br><br>I recall something about his Futurians book becoming part of the roster of books Liefeld was churning out one time but don't recall seeing anything actually show up on the stands.<br><br><br>Anyone know what became of the man and his creation(s) and if possible, how to get in touch with him??<br><br>--Ken<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

i remember dave corkrum from x-men a looong time ago (early 80's?). he was a guy who, like mike mignola in that same era, i wasn't a big fan of. i recall he did those stories of cyclops' spaceman father (starjammer?) or something like that. i think he does independent type stuff these days and teaches an occassional beard trimming course... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.imgmag.com/images/dcm/andyxkillerxblongxmi.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I think his recent stuff is from Claypool comics, and Aardwolf(?). <p></p><i></i>

If I recall, he did some Thunder Agents for a minute a few, 10 years ago. Well...I remember the ads, anyway.<br><br>R. <p><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.rickcortes.com"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.rickcortes.com/sitemarker.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

I saw Dave Cockrum posting on the DC Comics messageboards a few months ago, under the name "Dark Bamf." He was complaining about Catwoman's new costume, and talking about how sexy Hawkgirl is.<br><br>I kid you not. <p>-C<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.cameron-stewart.com">www.cameron-stewart.com</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

That guy could've become way better, it's sad how his art degenerated with the years. The talent is definitely there... <p></p><i></i>

Dave Cockrum did quite a bit of work for Claypool, including about ten "Elvira" stories and almost twenty issues of SOULSEARCHERS & COMPANY. Claypool stays in touch occasionally, but despite their asking, he's not done any new work for them for a few years now.<br><br>I understand there are some TwoMorrows projects, including the "Legion of Super-Heroes" volume, which feature new Cockrum art (and some classic art, too).<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.twomorrows.com/">www.twomorrows.com/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.claypoolcomics.com/">www.claypoolcomics.com/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>~D <p></p><i></i>

He was at a local comic book show a year or so ago.<br>I didn't care enough to ask him what he'd been up to.<br> <p></p><i></i>

"I saw Dave Cockrum posting on the DC Comics messageboards a few months ago, under the name "Dark Bamf."

I remember i use to hate Cockrum's run on Xmen Hated his style- "i was a john Bryne devotee"- but now i look back and see that he would totally fit into today's style...i.e. meaning your X-Statix /Tangled Web or even Catwoman...no joke. I can totally see Cockrum drawing her- in the new outfit no less-<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> --- She's got that whole big bug eyed- Shi'ar empire thing going on that he seemed to personify way back then.<br><br>i'd love to see Cockrum get his hands back into the ring- maybe even a fill in on Morrison's Xmen for old times sake...<br><br>ungh- did i just say "morrison's Xmen?" - my bad.<br><br>late.<br>M <p></p><i></i>
