	The Comics Journal: Newswatch
		Cockrum was living in upstate New York but preparing to move to South Carolina in late 2003, when he was struck down by an illness that became pneumonia and then double pneumonia.
		Cockrum was recovering from the worst of his illness and able to talk to Quesada, but his hands shook uncontrollably and he was clearly in a fragile state.
		With Cockrum in desperate need of financial assistance, Marvel was in a position to use that assistance to lure Cockrum into signing a retroactive work-for-hire agreement abdicating any and all rights in any of the characters he had worked on while employed by Marvel.

	Dave Cockrum Bio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Dave is the one shouting at Chris (Claremont, the writer of X-Men).
		I consider Dave's illustrations of the XF5F-1 Skyrocket in that book and his cover for #261 to be the best the Skyrocket ever looked in comics.
		Dave was the co-creator, with Marv Wolfman, of the excellent revival of Skywolf that appeared in Marvel Fanfare No.s 16 and 17 (1984).

	Talent Pool 04 - Dave Cockrum (Feb 1999)
		Dave Cockrum enjoyed the height of comics celebrity in the early and middle 1970s, appearing unexpectedly in 1973 to renew Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes.
		Cockrum, admitted as the last member of Marvel's "bullpen," enjoyed considerable celebrity in those days; his resume between 1973 and 1975 suggested a future eminence for the man that never came to pass.
		Cockrum's excellent use of darks in his work had gone; Cockrum's earlier cleanness of line had gone by 1974; Cockrum's attention to detail had, somehow, also gone (perhaps the casualty of an indifferent inker); the eye-pleasing proportions had gone; and his occasional failings in handling body language that appeared as aberrations in his early work.

	Fanzing 35 - June 2001 - How the Legion was Saved
		They allowed Dave to redesign the Legion's costumes, some of which had remained unchanged since the late 50's and were badly out of touch with the early 70s.
		Dave's last piece was a story in the back that featured a new creation, the Devil Fish, another remarkable creation, and was one of his finest pieces of work.
		Dave Cockrum went on to have a terrific career in comics.

	THE ABORTED DAVE COCKRUM INTERVIEW
		In late 2003, I began conducting an interview with legendary comic book artist Dave Cockrum (a co-creator of "the New X-Men" in the mid-70's) that I was unable to finish, but we did discuss his appearance as a guest artist on Legion of Super-Heroes #25 last year, which was the LSH 45th anniversary celebration issue.
		Cockrum was suffering from pneumonia and was on a respirator; he had been admitted into the hospital two week earlier for complications of diabetes.
		Cockrum and his wife Paty were, of course, in that time of grave illness in need of financial assistance.

		Designed by Jason Sacks as a gift to Dave Cockrum, http://www.davecockrum.net will eventually be given over to the artist as his official home on the Internet, once Cockrum returns home from the V.A. hospital (where he has remained since January 2).
		Cockrum has made a terrific contribution to the world of comics, and since many of our existing clients are drawn from the comics industry, it is only fitting that we give back to the community that has helped us build a thriving business.

	Past Masters: Dave Cockrum
		First, let’s begin by agreeing that Cockrum was one of the most innovative character designers of the 1970s.
		He was stationed in Guam at the time, serving his country as a sailor in the U.S. Navy, and unable to gauge fan reaction to his debut, but some of the editors at DC stood up and took note.
		Nevertheless, he walked Cockrum around the offices and introduced him to the guy who was, at that moment, the single biggest star in the industry: Neal Adams.

	World Famous Comics >> Tony's Online Tips - Tony Isabella, Mar 18, 2004
		Dave Cockrum is the talented comics creator who revitalized DC's Legion of Super-Heroes in the 1970s and, a couple years later, created or co-created many of the heroes and villains who started the X-Men on their comeback trail.
		Dave's recovery, even after he is released from the hospital and back home with his beloved wife Paty and their beloved macaws, isn't going to be a matter of days or even weeks.
		I chose to go with what is easily the most famous Cockrum cover of all time--even though it was penciled by Gil Kane--and one of several spiffy covers he did for the 1980s run of BLACKHAWK.

	Jim Lee Salutes Dave Cockrum
		“Dave Cockrum will always be the artist who brought The X-Men to life to me,” Jim told me. “Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, John Byrne—all phenomenal artists who made their mark on the merry mutants, but it was Dave who made The X-Men work when so many others previously failed.
		At the time, Dave was a sailor stationed in Guam; as usual, Dave included with his letter a fully rendered, full-color cover “suggestion” that he hoped Julie would consider using.
		Cockrum told me he sent in a helluva lot of those cover suggestions during those halcyon fan years before Big Julie finally bit on one and used it.

		One of the reasons that Cockrum's financial situation has gotten so precarious is a story we've heard too many times.
		But the character Cockrum created, Nightcrawler, was actually his own.

		In collaboration with artists Dave Cockrum and John Byrne, Claremont crafted a run still heralded as a definitive era on the book.
		They were visually stimulating, thanks to Dave Cockrum's outstanding designs, and were as three-dimensional as any fictional character in any medium - novel, film...anything.
		I have only read a few of the stories so far, Dave Cockrum is a great artist but Marvel apparently couldn't keep a consistent inker with him so his work suffers.
