Based only on what I’ve been able to see on the Internet, it seems to me
Lightle’s best work by far is his covers for classic X-Men. They are really
beautiful. Both classic and somehow modern at the same time.
Since I am interested in comics and comic art more for the stories than the
covers and splash pages, re there any books he drew that are well written and
worth reading? (Perhaps his short run on Doom Patrol?)

Thanks Mark.
I can see the similarities with Leach's style. Both artists offer very
precise and meticulous inks. Despite his ties with the legendary Miracleman
run with Alan Moore, I prefer Steve Lightle's art. I find that his sense of
design is superior.
Best,Fred

I’m not a cover guy, but that one is a beauty and what you wrote is a lovely
tribute as well as some cool backstory. Thank you for sharing, Frederic.
I confess I don’t really know Lightle’s work at all. Based on the examples
I’ve seen in the last couple of days I will keep my eye open—he’s good. (I
never was a Legion fan so clearly I missed out there.)
His work reminds me a little bit of Garry Leach, who I think is also
underrated.
Condolences to those who knew him and were friends with him.
