Talk:John Holmstrom

Other credits
John is arguably better known for the BACK cover of the Ramones' "Rocket to Russia", which is more characteristic of his style. During the '80's he also drew a regular one- or half-page color strip titled "Joe" for Scholastic's Bananas Magazine. If I recall correctly he also provided a number of spot illustrations for Heavy Metal articles and columns before it became a comics-only magazine.

JH has/had his own site, of course - http://www.johnholmstrom.com/

PROD Comment
Subject has been the subject other works. The sources may be challenged, but most seem reasonable.

As for the vandal magnet claim, wouldn't it make more sense to protect the article than delete the article if it's being vandalized?

 * PS - The article is indeed a mess, and who cares about him liking the Jets? 74.69.39.11 (talk) 14:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Fine, I gutted it. This article is terrible. It also has had the subject of the article editing it, which is problematic. I just want to know if Bosko is going to add information to this article, why can't he add his birthyear? We'll keep it as a stub and I'll ask for protection if vandalism continues.

 * Your comment and solution work very well for me. If there is a punk rock user group, I think this article should be brought to their attention, as I read this as tying more into music than comic (thought the latter is definitely existent). I'll do the search for the user group and make the notification. 74.69.39.11 (talk) 17:02, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * There's a WikiProject. We could ask on the talk page.  Enigma msg  23:41, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep. Made the request and WikiProject Punk Music adopted the article. 74.69.39.11 (talk) 10:38, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

On a related note (I think) I've removed the notability tag. I think having comics published in relatively high-profile publications (or albums), and publishing and editing a magazine with nationwide distribution, indicate notability. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 14:44, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Book authorship
Can someone confirm whether this is same John Holmstrom who wrote this book? It appears to be cited in [ 200+ film-related articles] and I'd like to make sure before linking these refs to the wrong guy, because his article doesn't mention it. ―cobaltcigs 17:57, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
