Dez Skin is going to bow out after 35 years sevice to the comics industry:
Comics International editor Dez Skinn's career in the industry spans 35 years. Titles he has created include Doctor Who Weekly, House of Hammer, Hulk Comic, Starburst and Warrior. Ex-editorial director of Marvel UK—where his Stan Lee-coined Sez Dez column had a monthly audience of over 500,000—he has also edited titles including Buster, MAD, Star Wars Weekly, 2000 AD Presents, Rogue Trooper, Conan and Spider-Man and won over 20 Eagle Awards.
A walloping big cheque finally came through last month for his co-created V for Vendetta. (nice to see someone get there just deserves)
more on this later, i have a press release which i will post tomorrow
but one thing is for sure, few people have put so much into the comics industry as Dez, you will be missed mate, you will be missed.
