Remo Forlani, 1927-2009

According to the French-language market news clearing house ActuaBD.com, film critic Remo Forlani, who for decades sidelined in comics criticism and historical work in addition to the work for which he was better known, recently passed away. He was 82 years old.

According to that report, Forlani enjoyed screen credits with a pair of the 1960s efforts to bring the iconic character Tintin into the cinematic world. In terms of the wider comics readership he was likely best known as the author of a series of articles known as "Le roman vrai de la bande dessineé" that ran in Pilote starting in 1961. That early attempt to tell the history of the comics art form included interviews with a number of major figures including Hergé and Milton Caniff. The brief obituary also mentions as small press effort featuring illustrations by Edmond Baudoin, Un chat est un chat, published in 1994.
