Per an obituary in the Boston Globe credited to the LA Times, Alex Kotzky
who drew and later wrote Apartment 3-G died Thursday of kidney disease at
age 73. The obit noted that he also worked on Plastic Man, but the phrasing
contains enough inaccuracies to make me wonder about that (it claims Plas
was both a strip and book, and that Kotzky was "one of the four original
artists" on the character). The obit also notes that while Alex Kotzky's
name has remained on the strip, Apt. 3-G is currently being "produced" by
his son Brian Kotzky (produced is the obit's word; unclear whether this
means he's both writing and drawing or what).
