I remember that she worked on a parody comic called the Incredible Shulk. Go with the good and you'll be like them; go with the evil and you'll be worse than them.- Portuguese Proverb

She seemed like the glue that held things together, while being multitalented in her own right and a very funny person. My thoughts go out to her family and friends. "...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Her talents for caricature and satire have been widely lauded, but she also had a flair for "Prince Valiant" style material, best showcased in her beautiful pencil art for the Marvel adaptation of the surprisingly intense (by 1981 standards) children's fantasy movie "Dragonslayer" (scripted by Denny O'Neil, from the screenplay by Hal Barwood & Matthew Robbins, the latter also being the film's director.) This side of her also got a bit of exposure in a few of the Hulk stories she drew, especially the ones with Hulk on Counter-Earth and Asgard; if anyone's curious about the Hulk stuff, there's plenty of cheap back issues of late 70s/early 80s color reprints under the "Marvel Super Heroes" title. Still "Fickles" to my friends.
