Là c’est moi qui préfère oublier.

Julie and the Maxx.
A tribute to the great Sam Kieth, who unfortunately passed away only a few months ago.
This was another comic that completely opened my mind back in the very early 2000s. His weird, detailed, strange and instantly recognizable style, unique page compositions and narrative made the Maxx one of my favorite comics ever. It was simply different to anything we had seen before. Yes, sometimes it was a bit confusing, but that actually contributed to its dreamlike atmosphere.
I absolutely loved it back then, and still do.
Rest in peace Sam Kieth, and thanks for the inspiration
L’année dernière…
Bah oui…
Il y aura aussi une annonce à faire en 2099 mai on a le temps.
Le gars était tellement bon qu’il a pris le temps de décéder deux fois.
Prends ça dans les dents, Keith Giffen !
Arf, je n’avais pas vu passer (ou pas retenu) cette nouvelle, et je vois des commentaires d’artistes lui rendant hommage. À la relecture, c’était pour le premier anniversaire de son décès.
Navré.
C’est ça de lire trop vite… ![]()
L’avatar est de circonstance.
(Et moi, je ne l’avais pas vu passer l’annonce.)
Moi, tout ce que je dis, c’est que pendant ces un an, il aurait quand même pu pondre un comic ou deux.
Ou tu as juste oublié (vois au post 956 ^^)
Doc, tu es notre mémoire.
L’esprit occulte ce dont il ne veut pas se souvenir…
Tori.
Ca m’arrive souvent.
Il a fait partie du staff de coloristes de Marvel entre 1982 et 1996, travaillant sur de nombreuses séries comme Defenders, Thor, Iron Man, Quasar, West Coast Avengers et j’en passe. Et chez DC, il fut le coloriste des comics Scooby-Doo.
Paul Becton nous a quittés à l’âge de 73 ans.
L’hommage de Walt Simonson :
I’ve just learned that Paul Becton has caught the last train out. Paul was a Marvel bullpen guy back in the 80s (where I met him) who did coloring among other things. He became a friend and I would see him at cons from time to time, including the last time I saw him when a bunch of us grabbed dinner after a day at the New York Comicon. A really good guy in a body that betrayed him over time. His last few years have been years of ill health and I’m glad (if that’s the right word) that he’s not having to endure any longer. All that said, he colored what is probably the best known drawing of my career – the cover for Thor 337. I think he was pretty proud of that, too, and I could not have been more delighted with it. Thanks for the friendship, Paul, and the coloring. All our love. Godspeed.
