A New York Times obituary for John Peck and a King Features remembrance of Hy Eisman have appeared.
John Peck, a cultural omnivore known as The Mad Peck whose dryly humorous style as an underground cartoonist, artist, critic, disc jockey and record collector was accompanied by an ornate eccentricity, died on March 15 in Providence, R.I. He was 82.
The cause of his death, in a hospital, was a ruptured aneurysm in his aorta, said his sisters, Marie Peck and Lois Barber.
John (The Mad Peck) Peck‘s obituary appears in The New York Times written by Jeré Longman.
Hy Eisman, a prolific and influential American cartoonist whose career spanned more than seven decades, died March 27, 2025, on his 98th birthday. According to his family, he used his silver pen until the end. Eisman was an extraordinary talent and our dear friend and treasured colleague. His impact on the comic arts and his nurturing spirit will forever inspire future generations of artists and readers alike.
Hy Eisman is remembered by King Features with a tribute by Amy Anderson.
For those unaware illustrator Brad Holland has passed away and we are awaiting details
