I am a day behind, but I just learned the sad news that one of my all time favourite artists just passed away.
Carlos Meglia is most famous for his creation of Cyber Six- which was turned into a super cool animated series. The argentinian artist, also worked on several superman projects including Superman Infinite Series and Superman/Tarzan.
His most recent series Canari, from the french publisher Soleil is just incredible. His work has influenced many other artists -including two other Labyrinth favourites: Humberto Ramos and Francisco Herrera. In fact, Herrera had mentioned that the three of them, were supposed to work on an upcoming Skydoll book together. It would have been the dream team for me. Now, I can only imagine.
you can see more of his work here:

not sure how long this site will remain, as it looks like it was run by him (I can't read the spanish -so I am not positive.) Still, worth looking at as soon as you can.
Below is an image from Monster World. This was a miniseries from DC comics about a group of 3 year olds sent to outer space -with the idea that they would age slowly during the long space travel period. but something goes wrong, and the ship crash lands on a planet covered by monsters - when the astronaughts are only 7 year old kids. Too bad its never been collected into a trade. If you can find these as comics, you will be doing yourself a favour.
