Big fan of his work. Sad to hear of his passing. Has cause of death been revealed? 52 is pretty young.

Most illustrators don't have long lifespans, unfortunately for me.

i saw where his sister said his organs were fine it was his brain they were worried about. he was admitted to the hospital 4 days ago

[VinylGuy]

damn, what happened

[wease]

Hey VG. You ever read Mort Cinder?

[VinylGuy]

Oh yeah!! big fan as a kid.

Oesterheld was very important to me. The Eternaut is one of my favorties books of all time.

[wease]

I’ve been trying to find affordable English copies of it for a couple of years now. I’ve seen sample pages from it and other work by Alberto Breccia and it just looks phenomenal.

[VinylGuy]

that one was Oesterheld and Solano Lopez. Breccia is another master but he wasnt involved.

The Eternaut is a must really, specially if you are from Argentina. Its about the dictatorship of the 70s here basically, disguised as a sci fi story.
Sadly the assassins we had in our government at the time took Oesterheld and disappeared him. They also killed his four daughters.

[wease]

Breccia wasn’t Mort Cinder? Everything I’ve seen says he did it.

[VinylGuy]

oh yeah yeah i thought you were talking about The Eternaur.

Yeah Breccia is a god really. Amazing work there.

Something is Killing the Children was superb.

The collected deluxe edition includes Dark Days, Return to Barrow and the 2004 Annual as well. I got through Dark Days last night and may have enjoyed it more than the initial series.

Been on the list for ages though I wanted to get to the source material first so it should be bumped up in the queue.

[oasisfan35]

This issue was wonderful.

[wease]

So what is it? I haven’t been able to figure it out. Is it a reprint?

[oasisfan35]

Yes, it is a reprint of The Long Halloween Special with a cover Sale had in his vault but it is a lead-in to the ten issue series.
