Minck Oosterveer dies in fatal accident
Sad news today. Minck Oosterveer (1961-2011) died this Saturday in a fatal crash with his motorcycle. The Dutch comic artist recently drew the Storm spin-off De Banneling van Thoem for Eppo comic magazine with his pal and writer Willem Ritstier. Oosterveer had received the most prestigious Dutch prize this year for his complete comic work at the comic convention in Gorinchem on March 12.
He was building an international career, working with American writer Mark Waid for Marvel on the comic book Ruse (Which Waid had originally created for Cross Gen with Butch Guice en Mike Perkins), and the Spider-Man one-shot Spider Island: Deadly Foes. He also cooperated with Waid on the mini-series The Unknown and Zombie Tales for Boom! Studios. Oosterveer was fifty and is survived by his wife Tineke and his two children Kirsten and Sven. My deepest condolences to them and respect to all friends and collegues.
You can visit Mincks site here to check out his great work, but it doesnt mention anything about his passing yet, as I would presume.
