Richard Hook has died - Vincula - 02-10-2010 I found this: http://antoninuspius.blogspot.com/ Re: Richard Hook has died - Robert Vermaat - 02-10-2010 And a good obituary from Osprey. Ah, a very well-respected illustrator. He will be sorely missed by many. My sympathies to his family, friends and fans. Re: Richard Hook has died - Graham Sumner - 02-15-2010 Yes, sad news indeed. Likewise my sympathies go to his family and friends Graham. Re: Richard Hook has died - mcbishop - 03-01-2010 Quote:And a good obituary from Osprey. And, I note, yet another contributor (along with the Embletons and McBride) to Look and Learn, one of the formative publications of my childhood (alongside Eagle, of course). In fact the first 'publication' I ever produced was in primary school and was a newspaper (called 'Everest' - I still have one somewhere) pinned onto the classroom notice board largely made up of chopped-up L&Ls and stuff I typed on an old manual typewriter. Great illustrators like this brightened my life as a kid to the point where I longed for each one to arrive; you can't say fairer than that. Mike Bishop Richard Hook has died - ParthianBow - 03-08-2010 I was intrigued to see that Richard Hook was one of the illustrators for Look and Learn. Like Mike, I too was influenced from a young age by this seminal publication. Having just taken delivery of Osprey's Early Roman Armies and Armies of the Carthaginian Wars 265-146 BC, I see that he was the main illustrator there too. My sympathies to his family and friends: his skills will be greatly missed. |
