-Denis Gifford: R.I.P. |
Steve Whitaker of the GCD wrote: I regret to announce that Denis
Gifford the British Comics Historian passed away last week (his obituary in The
Independent for the 24th of May dates his passing as "circa the 18th"). He was
72. Dennis was a generous and enthusiastic man that I only knew briefly during my term on
the committee of the SSI (Society of Strip Illustrators) in the late '80s. Whenever our
paths crossed - which was ever more infrequently- he was as accessible as ever and was
always glad to respond to a letter. I remember writing to ask if he knew of a book on
British Syndicated Newspaper Strips and recieving a copy of his STAP ME! (the only book
ever done on the subject. . . by Denis naturally) by return of post. I can't think of
anyone who could fill his shoes when it comes to specialised knowledge of British comics
and strips - especially from the pre-war period(s).
