Meth's Final Dave Cockrum Project
Jan. 19, 2007

UNCANNY DAVE COCKRUM PRESTIGE EDITION HARDCOVER (Mar 2007)

My latest project with Aardwolf Publishing is a project that I couldn't be prouder of: The Uncanny Dave Cockrum Hardcover.

This important tribute to my friend Dave, the creator of the X-Men characters that the world has come to know and love, includes art tributes (renderings of Dave's superhero designs) by the greatest comics illustrators in the business, including Neal Adams, Sergio Aragones, Terry Austin, Frank Brunner, John Cassady, Travis Charest, Gene Colan, Alan Davis, John Romita Sr., Dave Gibbons, Michael Kaluta, Joe Kubert, Jim Lee, George Perez, Marie Severin, Walter Simonson, Dave Sim, Joe Quesada and many others. There's also written tributes from Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Harlan Ellison, Chris Claremont, Len Wein, Tony Isabella, Roy Thomas, Randy Bowen and Stan Lee... along with 20 pages of never-before-seen Dave Cockrum art.

One more thing: 220 copies of this book will have unique, original Dave Cockrum sketches bound into the volume. It may be your last chance to own an original Dave Cockrum. I promise you won't want to miss this.

Visit www.aardwolfpublishing.com for details or to order your copy.

And look for me on Sunday, Feb. 25 at NY ComicCon (at the Javits Center) where I'll be hosting the "Remembering Dave Cockrum" panel. I'll be joined by special guests Chris Claremont, Louise Simonson & Joe Rubinstein.
