Editing Dave Cockrum (section)

===Legacy===
The [[The Kubert School|Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art]] bestowed the first annual Dave & Paty Cockrum Scholarship to a promising artist in 2008. The scholarship, which was organized by Meth, continues each year and is funded by sales of comics from Cockrum's personal collection.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://thecliffordmethod.blogspot.com/2007/12/own-dave-cockrums-comics.html|title= Own Dave Cockrum's and Gene Colan's Personal Comics and File Copies|first= Clifford|last= Meth|date= February 22, 2008|publisher= Thecliffordmethod.blogspot.com|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130512083711/http://thecliffordmethod.blogspot.com/2007/12/own-dave-cockrums-comics.html|archive-date= May 12, 2013|url-status= live|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In the novelization of ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', written by Cockrum's longtime associate [[Chris Claremont]] (published in 2006), the [[Lists of fictional Presidents of the United States|President]] is named "David Cockrum". Claremont also created a character in homage to Cockrum in ''[[New Exiles]]'' who eventually "moved on" at the end of ''[[X-Men: Die by the Sword]]'' (2007), which ended with a full-page tribute to Cockrum.<ref>{{Gcdb issue|id= 385938|title= ''X-Men: Die By the Sword'' #5 (Feb. 2008)}}</ref>
