Rene Sterne, 1952-2006



The artist Rene Sterne died on Wednesday in the Grenadine Islands, according to a report at ActuaBD.com and a posting at his web site. He was 54 years old.

Sterne was perhaps best known for his art on ten albums of the Adler series, a World War II-era adventure with I believe some romantic overtones as well. The story was drawn in part from travels taken by the artist with partner Chantal De Spiegeleer when he was a teacher. That work began serialization in 1985 and collection in 1987. Sterne was currently working on La Malediction des Trente Deniers, an album planned for extension into a second that was to use characters, settings and story background from Edgar P. Jacobs Blake and Mortimer series, from a script written by Jean Van Hamme.

Sterne's web site contains a great deal of art from his career, and is well worth a visit.
