COMICS' KOTZKY DIES

Alex Kotzky, who drew and for the past few years also wrote the popular syndicated comic strip ``Apt. 3-G,'' has died. He was 73.

Kotzky died Thursday in New York City of complications from kidney disease, said his son, Bruce Kotzky of Las Vegas.

Although the senior Kotzky's name continues to appear on the strip, the feature is being produced by his other son, Brian.

Alex Kotzky was one of the four original illustrators of the comic strip and book ``Plastic Man.''
