Philippe Vandevelde "Tome" 24 February 1957 – 5 October 2019

CFrom Cinebook the 9th Art:

It is with infinite sadness that we have heard of the death of Philippe Tome at 62.

Tome is known to Cinebook readers as the writing half of "Tome & Janry", the pair who revitalised Spirou & Fantasio in the 1980s. He was also the creator of the tremendously funny and beloved "Petit Spirou", threw himself into hard-boiled cop story "SODA" out of love for New York City, and received numerous awards during his life.

With his passing, it's a chapter of BD history that closes, and he will be sorely missed.
