Long life indeed. I actually didn't know Mick was still with us, and now of course he isn't. RIP

Kimota, Mr Anglo.

I knew he was alive, but I had no idea he had anything to do with The Avengers! Are details and examples of his Avengers comic online?

I scanned the whole of the Avengers Thorpe and Porter comic a few years back, and you can read it here:

Sad to hear the artist/author has gone.

I actually felt his take was the most true to the feel of the series among the comic books.
