And RAB, I agree, these folks lives and works should be remembered. Having now remembered almost everyone listed here, it was not my knowledge that was limited--only my lousy memory. Thanks for correcting me, all. I just wish I had been right (only in the sense meaning that no suicides had occurred). Having once interviewed Jackson, I should of at the very least remembered him.

Jack Jackson, one of the first underground cartoonists. And perhaps the most shocking case, George Caragonne, writer for Marvel, Valiant, and Penthouse Comix.

He's best known for his work on EC Comics and the space adventure Spirit strips. Man, I feel downright ghoulish adding to this comment thread.
