Gerry Marsden of the 1960s rock group "Gerry and the Pacemakers" died on Jan 3. Wasn't he on some cards, maybe from the UK ? | |||

If he was, find them and post them. John Reilly, who was on General Hospital for quite some time, died a couple of days ago. He was 84 or 86, depending on where you look. ![]() And Julie Strain was incorrectly announced as dead about a year ago. Well, the announcement seems to be correct now. Age 58, "six foot one and worth the climb". ![]() ![]() | |||

I was very sorry to hear about Julie Strain's passing. As you know, Bill, she's on a ton of cards. You show one of her Bench Warmer cards and the back of one of her promo cards for "Julie Strain's Bettie 2000" (Comic Images, 1997). She was the subject of Julie Strain's Marilyn 2000 (Comic Images, 1999) as well and appeared in other Comic Images sets as a model for Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, and Olivia De Berardinis. She was in a bunch of 80's and 90's B-movies and San Diego Comic Con attendees will always remember her appearances. I think it was in 1999 that she wowed the crowd in a Vampirella costume at a time when she was an official model for Harris Comics. She was on several covers of that comic. Below is a Bench Warmer II promo card from 1993, the Marilyn 2000 3-card sheet (related to but a separate Comic Images product from the similarly named Julie Strain's Marilyn 2000 trading card set), and a card from the 5-card Vampirella chromium promo set (Harris Comics, 2000) said to be a giveaway to Scarlet Legion (Vampirella fan club) members. The Marilyn 2000 sheet was for sale but Comic Images also gave some away to their Collector Club members. That's how I got that one. ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

I know Julie Strain signed cards for at least Scream Queens 4. maybe others. Scream Queens was one of those fringe adult products that included autographs from C grade film vixens in various stages of undress. I wouldn't try to post her card from that one. ![]() Strain was one of the better known names. It's too bad that she died at a fairly young age, but she really was unwell for a long time. RIP. | |||

Yeah, I saw another promo that I couldn't post too. She wore some wild outfits in her career, and sometimes nothing at all, and she seemed to have a sense of humor about it all.

Cloris Leachman has died, age 94. Too bad there is no "Young Frankenstein" set. The Frau Blucher card would be a prize. ![]() ![]() | |||
