Destructor was the first comic book I ever bought when I was a kid. I still have that very comic book to this day. It was put out on Atlas Comics which has since ceased to exist. Dave Cockrum worked on that character and created many others while working at Marvel. He also restarted the X-Men series in 1975 after it had been on hiatus since 1970 (due to low sales) helping to create new characters like Colossus, Nightcrawler and Storm breathing new life into the series. Dave Cockrum passed away on Sun, Nov. 26, 2006. His rendering of Wolverine is set to be used as a postage stamp in 2007. Click here for more info.
