[edit] Separate Article for Don Thompson?

I added a link and a disambiguation feature for Maggie's husband, Don recently. I believe that his contributions to comics fandom have been significant enough to warrant his own page, but thought I'd start it here first.

The Lupoff/Thompseon All In Color For A Dime is cited all over the place here. I just spent a few minutes converting all the entries so that Dick Lupoff's citations linked to his article Richard A. Lupoff, and Don's to the disambiguation page. His bio in The Comic-Book Book mentions that he was an editor for the Cleveland Press and that science-fiction author Betsy Curtis (same person as this? -- http://web2.airmail.net/tharvia/hugo_authors/curtis.html) was his mother-in-law. He was awarded a Comicon International (San Diego Comicon at the time) Inkpot Award in 1976 (http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_inkpot.shtml), thus passing that part of the notability standards. He also has an award named after him: http://www.cbgxtra.com/default.aspx?tabid=42&view=profile&uid=2536 and http://www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=35;t=000435;p=0
