Jim Mooney’s last published work in Sunday’s Funky Winkerbean
Skip to commentsJim Mooney, a legend in the comic book industry artist who passed away last month, will have one last published piece this Sunday. This Sunday’s Funky Winkerbean was written by Tony Isabella who made the characters appear as Superman and Supergirl. At Tony’s suggestion, Funky creator Tom Batiuk contacted Jim and asked him to draw the super-hero characters, to which Jim agreed.
Regarding Jim, Tom said:
I … found him to be one of the nicest and genuine individuals you’d want to encounter. He agreed to do the Sunday and did a wonderful job. The strip will run Sunday April 13th and quite possibly could be Jim’s last published work. If so, I feel privileged to have been a small part of it.
