Sad news, as Roger Kean passed away today due to Motor Neurone Disease.
The co-founder of Newsfield, editor of several titles including ZZAP! and CRASH, and partner to the late Oli Frey.
It was my pleasure to work with Roger on books, Annuals and the revived ZZAP in recent years, and to interview him at retro events. A genuine, kind and modest man who was a huge influence on the software industry and publishing. He is at peace with Oli now.

They were both such lovely guys to talk to. I hope that Chris Wilkins Re-launch of their old mags made them happy in their final years - It must have been amazing to them seeing Crash & Zzap!64 back in print.

So saddened to hear of his passing. I am so grateful for the life work of Roger, Oli and associates. And wonderful Hunan beings clearly, by all the accolades by friends and family. RIP, and thoughts with friends and family.
