My favourite of all FF artists. He was only 51 when he died.

RIP.
He was of our generation (I guess we are 40 and over people). As an FF fan, he had the luck to become an essential contributor, as Jon Green.

Very sorry to read this. An exceptionally talented and prolific FF contributor, and far too young to go. RIP.

As an under-40 person, this is still very sad for me - he was probably my favourite FF illustrator. The image of Count Varcolac in Howl of the Werewolf is one I will never forget.

Very sad news to hear of the death of a talented artist whose illustrations brought to life so many of the books we love to read.
Condolences to his family.

Sad news indeed, and at no age at all. Such a marvellous contributor to the fighting fantasy world.

Just over 50, still to young to die, may he rest in peace.

Over on the Fabled Lands blog Dave Morris and his wife Roz remember Martin McKenna with kind words and some nice pictures.
