Barry Morse, who played Lt. Philip Gerard on The Fugitive (the original TV series), died last Saturday. He was 89.

Barry More also played Professor Bergman on Space:1999, a genre role that many of us here might be more familiar with.

Hey, after Star Trek and before Star Wars, Space: 1999 was, sadly, as good as it got. (This is probably the reason ST:TOS was watched in reruns so often that a franchise arose out of a canceled television show, but I digress.)

Farewell Professor.

Movie poster artist John Alvin: 1948 -2008

To call John Alvin’s poster work iconic is really an understatement. Just looking over a gallery of his work brings back a flood of memories of watching the movies he produced posters for. Sadly, John passed away last week. He will be missed.

In Remembrance.

Comics creator Steve Gerber died on Sunday from complications due to an ongoing lung condition he'd been struggling with over the past several months.

Gerber is best known for his creation Howard the Duck, as well as other Marvel properties such as Omega the Unknown, Foolkiller, and various DC properties. He'd most recently been writing Dr. Fate for the relaunched Journey Into Mystery.

Steve was 60 years old. RIP, sir, and thank you for countless hours of entertainment and enlightenment.
