Phil Gasgoine: R.I.P.

We have lost another talented Comic Artist in Phil Gasgoine, I first met Phil many years ago at the SSI (Society of Strip Illustrators) and he was always encouraging to this fledgling comic artist. Phil was also one of the most reliable, hard working and down to earth people in the business, and will be greatly missed.
