We are sorry to report the death of Jon Haward at the early age of fifty eight, after a long period of ill health. Jon illustrated several 'Dan Dare' serials for the second version of
EAGLE in 1990 and 1991, alternating with David Pugh. He also drew two 'Dan Dare' strips for the 1992
EAGLE Yearbook and a further strip for a
Dan Dare Holiday Special. He subsequently worked on 'Spiderman', 'Judge Dredd', 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles', 'Biker Mice From Mars', 'Tales of Telguuth' and 'Sinister Dexter', among others. With the writer Alan Grant he created 'The Hell Crew' and 'Tales of the Buddha'. He also illustrated strip adaptations of the Shakespeare plays
Hamlet and
The Tempest. He created designs for computer games and theme park rides and illustrated children's books, joke books, card and board games and story boards for films.
