I figured best place for it as most of his work was in Defunct publishers.

Not sure how old he was or cause at this time.

Man , that sucks, from an air ache to a brain aneurism ( sounds like a misdiagnosis to me). Never a big fan of Aircel Comics but still sucks none the less.

Hometown lad...His stuff was quite the rage when it first appeared locally and especially when he went international during the Indy craze of the 80's.

Well damn, this makes me sad. We lose yet another of the old school artists.

I really enjoyed his latter work and now, he is just.... gone.

RIP Mr. Blair

I don't remember him doing any adult comics as several articles have said. He left Aircel years before they started doing porn when they were really just an imprint of Malibu. What adult comics is he supposed to have done?

I thought they did the more adult stuff before they became part of Malibu and then toned it down.
I'm not sure any of it was porn either, just slightly more mature themes involving naked or semi naked peeps.
