Hi all,

 

Does anyone know what happened with Jim Somerville, or a way to get in touch with him?

 

He worked with Aircel and Dark Horse during the 90's and pencilled a bunch of interesting series and big licenses such as "The Thing from Another World", "Predator", "Aliens".... I've spent a long time searchingand just can't find anything about him on the internet... So any hint would be welcome.

 

Thanks!

After searching a lot more, still haven't been able to reach Somerville, or even finding a clue regarding his current whereabouts... I've spoken with people who worked with him at Aircel and Dark Horse, but nothing. All I know is that he moved to Canada like 15 years ago (I think he was born there).

 

So if any canadian fellow knows anything that can help me out finding him, pls let me know!

 

Happy new year!

Dale Keown did some work with Somerville. Keown currently lives in Canada, too. It's a long shot but have you considered messaging him via Facebook, to see if he might know?

Better yet, there's a Canada-based "freelance comic artist" named Jim Somerville on freelanced.com. You can contact him through that site.

 

Good luck!

Hi Hal, and thanks for the suggestions

 

I already sent Dale Keown a message via facebook, but I got no response (I fear he might've not seen it, since his "friends list" is full, so we're not connected... And facebook deals in weird ways with messages that come from strangers, sometimes they go to that "others" folder and you get no notification). I'll ask a couple of friends to see if anyone has a direct email for Keown though.

 

I saw that Freelanced site too... It definitely looks like him, I thought the same. But I paid their subscription fee (you have to pay 3 bucks per month to send internal messages to other members) and my message still has no response. His profile has no info or images so I think he created it but dismissed the website when it asked him for money.

 

In any case, it looks like did some searching at google to help me out, so thank you very much for it, I really appreciate it!
