Jim Baikie R.I.P.

I've just heard that the artist Jim Baikie has passed away. Most of you may remember Jim drawing Skizz, written by Alan Moore, that appeared in 2000AD in the 1980s, and on his work on Judge Dredd.  He also illustrated many other strips, such as New Statesmen in Crisis, and for American publisher DC Comics he had stints on Batman and The Spectre. Jim also drew numerous serials for the girls comic Jinty in the 1970s. 

He had an accomplished style and was one of those artists who could draw anything and make it look natural. Whether the scenes required action scenes or quiet character pieces, Jim could master it and deliver the goods. 

My sincere condolences to Jim's family and friends for their loss.
